Shadowkeeper Savegames?

I hope someone can help me out a little here..
I have recently installed shadowkeeper, along with BGII, on my new computer, but for some reason I can't find the edited savegames? There are only the normal, unedited games to choose from, in the "Load Game" area? I tried saving the edited games under various names, but they don't show up anywhere (besides in SK).
What do I do wrong/ how do I fix this?
Thanks in advance

Hm, I THINK it may have something to do with unzipping... anyone knows if I can get SK as a full download instead of a zipped version?

Do you have Throne of Bhaal installed? I can't remember, but I think if you don't have ToB installed, then shadowkeeper doesn't respond properly as the game is missing resources.

likely a win7/vista and/or 64-bit problem
solutions to attempt:
*install THE GAME outside games/ or program files/ program files (x86)/ - to any non-windows directory, in fact, like C:/BG2/
*remove the default "Read-only" property from the folder
* "take possession" of THE GAME folder (may belong to TrustedInstaller or some crap like that)
*run Shadowkeeper "as administrator" (right click on file) - might have to enable "administrator privileges" or something for your user
*run Shadowkeeper as the real FULL administrator user (needs to be enabled via command prompt, google for instructions) - likely unnecessary or not the only way, since I recall using Shadowkeeper back when I even didn't know about the full admin user being hidden by default by those holier-than-thou we-shalt-protect-you-from-yourself bastards at Microshaft
PS win 7-64 on i7 laptop, SK runs fine, install path C:/BG2/ though... had problems with other games that I inst'd to Program Files - couldn't run mods and stuff...

Adieu - thanks a lot, I'll give it a try asap
EDIT: I can't seem to find a way to run SK as an administrator... will keep trying though
