you should create a new folder, inside your saved games folder, with the name of the game: in this case Lets_Try_Again. than download the turn sent to you by llamaserver and copy it into the folder you just created. than open dominions3, make sure you're on vanilla setting, no CBM or other mods, than go to "play existing game" and click on "Lets_Try_Again". than it should tell you: Lets_Try_Again turn 1, click on it and start your turn.

you do the same process with each new turn sent to you by llamaserver.

this is the best advise you'll get as far as computers go:
UNINSTALL vista and burn the vista CD! vista is evil, evil, EVIL! uninstall it, get rid of it and never see it again! go back to XP, it's the only safe Microsoft operating system. or even better, get Linux.

Or get 7

Also, I find it helpful to set a shortcut to my savegames folder on my desktop for sending the turns. Make sure to set dominions to run as administrator as well.

because Vista doesnt like the C drive being messed with, i do everything from my desktop and copy and paste manually to the folder , which sometimes requires me to click on the campatible file tab to access the area of the folder i want. its a pain , but it works , some games are fine older games i have to do this . its no biggie once i figure out what works. I used to have a APPLE and man i miss those days. there was NO configuring anything on my old APPLE quadra , it either worked or it didnt . anyways, i got it down now, hope to meet you soon on the MAP jejejejej!!!
