Vista:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

Please note these directories may be Hidden by default. To unhide them, go to your Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View and set yourself to view hidden files and folders.

I've got vista, installed it to that folder, yet it doesn't come up on the game's map list when I try and create a game.

Any help on this?

Again, I've saved the map to both the core galaxy folder (where all the maps that come with the game are) as well as my users folder as described in this post, and I can not find the map in the game to load it.

If you have version 1.03 installed and the map was made using GalaxyForge, you'll have to edit the map file first (in Notepad) and change the line that says "version=0" to "version=1".
