I've been MIA for a while (well, hardly 'in action', but away from the game and the forum) but this new/last update has me enthused once again. I'm looking forward to some more fireworks! Oh, and the fireworks should be fun too!

Thanks RealGecko, you've made me happy! I was having a difficult time gathering certain science from some locations (e.g. the Materials Study from KSC's Crawlerway). Even though the tests were run several times they wouldn't show up as fulfilled contracts. Thanks again.

I had several ships in orbit and landed in a modded version of 1.1.2 when I updated to ver. 1.1.3. I loaded the same mods using CKAN and transferred a copy of the 'saves' folder from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3. Now the game will load but I have the same problems as in the OP (can't enter VAB nor SPH, can't exit others, can't exit game, etc.). I have had a crack at following Claw's instructions re editing the persistent.sfs file but it made no difference, but that's quite likely down to me (there's lots of things I'm not good at - this is just another of them! =D). Could someone have a look at my persistent file and tell me what I can do to sort it out. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your responses katateochi and Borsek. As I mentioned in the OP, KSP is now running ok because I uninstalled the software. I simply posted the info in case any one else had the same problem. katateochi - As I am playing on a laptop at 1366 x 768 a high polling rate mouse is not important for me. Perhaps one day I'll get a dedicated system that can handle lots of mods, parts and enhancements. Borsek - I too have been living by the "don't update or install unless critical' credo'". Must have had a brain-snap the other day. =D

Just mentioning this in case others may have the same problem. Yesterday the mouse manufacturer Logitech notified me there was updated software available (Set Point) so it was downloaded and installed. After rebooting, the computer was running very slowly and the mouse was doing crazy things (like scrolling three pages instead of three lines) and KSP was so slow it was unplayable, so the software was uninstalled. All is now good again. I'm not sure what the issue is but since the mouse is working fine - and was before - it lends credence to the adage 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it!'

Just started a separate 'modded' game in version 1.0.5 and MM loaded 18,138 patches! Hope the laptop can handle it without bursting into flames!

Hello MassCannon. There's lots of friendly people on this site, and some excellent advice for apprentice Kerbalnauts. Good luck with your Duna mission.

legoclone09 - I had the same problem and it was answered by Claw. The trick is to Alt + X (in my case) before going extra-vehicle.

More of a tricycle Robotengineer. It's an indication of the state of my gameplay - it needs at least three wheels to stay upright!

Thank you, thank you, thank you guitarxe! You pointed me in the correct direction. Yes, CIS is installed on my rig but I couldn't understand how the saved game could be loaded in the Guest installation if Comodo was dumping the data overboard. So I looked in VTRoot and hallelujah (Jeff Buckley's version of course) the saved game was there, so I copied the files to the original instance of the game and it is completely intact and operational. What a buzz! Again, thank you, thank you, thank you. goldenpsp - you were right, at least in one sense. The game is run from the location I mentioned but the saved games were indeed in a different folder. All I want to know now is why my numerous searches failed to find the files that are so obviously there? But all's well that ends well.

Kryxal - I have tried the Win 7 search using different parameters without success. I also use xplorer2, a file manager much more powerful than Windows Explorer and its 'Find' tool cannot locate any .sfs files apart from those in the default Scenarios and Training folders. imaspacestation - No, it's running on C: and my machine does not have Steam installed. Can you tell me why this might be important? It could give me another clue as to where to search. Thanks for your responses.

Hello Kryxal - I had already tried a command prompt search of c:\ for *.sfs files and it brought up the same for persistant.sfs (as it would!) as in the image below. Only two .sfs files were found. I don't have time at the present to open those particular files but they might teach me something. I suspect, however, that they are from the demo game I installed first to check it out. I'll be back in a while. On another note, why it found the other files with the extraordinarily long paths with repeated folder names is beyond me, but that's perhaps a question for a different forum.

cybersol and goldenpsp - Thanks again for your suggestions. I have a shortcut on the Guest account desktop which is used to launch the game. The target is C:\Users\Guest\KSP_win\KSP.exe which should be a pretty solid indication that the game is run through that account. To test this I tried your .cfg editing suggestion cybersol. First I launched the game from the Guest desktop shortcut and made sure the price of the Mark 1 command pod was as it should be at 600 funds (it was). Then I shut the game down and edited the .cfg file to make the price for the pod 601 funds, then launched the game again. The price was now 601 funds in the game. I have tried searching for the names the games were saved under (JiFi Rocketech - which, by the way, still load with all experience, credits, ships etc.) but the only files it finds are .png files of the flags I created. I've searched for any .sfs files on the Guest account. I've been into AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86) and found only two folders with no relationship to KSP. I've searched in many other places and done a deep search of the entire computer and external drives. All to no avail. Well I'm stumped! Looks like the best bet might be to start again on the D:\ installation. Ah well! Thanks everyone for your offers of help.
