Well, have you copied and pasted the contents of your savegame archive folder into your current savegames folder?

I should ask you more details about your installation. Alternatively i can just quote and you tell me if this helps:

Yes.
So: copy and paste the folder:
?:\....\SteamApps\*your account*\dark messiah might and magic single player\mm\save
into an Archive folder outside Steam. Anywhere, for instance on desktop, or My Documents or wherever.

Then install the DVD version.
Launch the game and play a few steps then save game to make it create a SAVE folder. (the path will be:
?:\....\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic\mm\SAVE)

Then copy and paste the contents of your archived "save" folder into it.

Of course you can also after installing, navigate to
?:\....\Dark Messiah of Might and Magic\mm
and just create a SAVE folder and paste the contents of your archived "save" folder into it.
>>>But make sure the name is right! In the Steam installation the savegame folder is called:
save
In the Ubisoft version, it is called

SAVE
Smile

BTW: If you are using the DVD version, make sure you have installed the patches before running the game. It is not guaranteed the unpatched savegames will work on a patched game, but at least you should SEE them.

You copied "games"??
Please be more informative and accurate. You have the dvd version or the Steam version installed?
You stored a copy of your savegames on a seperate partition (or burnt on a dvd/cd)?

sorry, I was in a rush.
I saved the game saves onto a removable drive.
I am pretty sure that I installed the dvd version last time. this pc is currently dvd version.

You know what you installed or not don't you?...

Anyway. Be it either DVD version or Steam version:
1. remove the savegames folder you put in there.
2. Run the game, walk a few steps, save game (this way you have made the game create a new savegames folder).
3. Exit game.
4. Open your savegames archive folder. Copy the contents (so: the savegames themselves), and paste them into the game's "SAVE" folder. Or if your game is the Steam version into the "save" folder.

WTF!!!???
this morning I played a little, and got some saves.
just now I did what you said and deleted the SAVE folder. I went to the load game section just for the hell of it, guess what the games are still there... suspicious...
