I just started playing Tomb Raider after I took care of the unlock codes problems. But then something happened. At the first stage everything was ok (the game looks much better now!) I also had no problems saving in this stage. But when I got at the second stage every time I saved the game it crashed and I had to restart my computer! When I got back to the game the save game didn’t work. Is there anything I can do? If there’s not a way to fix this problem, do you guys know of any save games editor that work with Tomb Raider?
Thanks for your help and your patience guys

I've heard of a save game problem with TR1, but I've never seem it myself. Apparently there are some hints as to how to avoid the problem on stella's site. http://tombraiders.net

My guess is that it might be something to do with file access rights. Try using an administrator account. That's just a guess though; Stella's site has to be your best bet.

Under Win9x, "anyone" is administrator. So that's probably not it.

Closest thing to this that I encountered was loading earlier save games from the Non-3dfx version. I (now) know loading "other version" save games is a big no-no.

Have you tried starting the game from scratch again and save at the very beginning (in an alternate slot)? Does that crash also?

Win98? Yeh, then it isn't the administrator business.

One thing that I've run into before: if you copy your save games onto a CD and then back off onto your harddrive then they are Read-only and you cant save over them. Just a thought.

There is something on Stella's site somewhere. I'll try to find it when i get a chance.
