For my study I need a programm called SPSS and the datadocument of this programm is saved with the extension .sav . KaM also saves games with this extension, so in my saves list it is seen as a SPSS programm and I can't load a save game. When i try to open it, it says: ElnOutError: The specified file already exists.
Does anybody know how i could solve this problem?

"in my saves list it is seen as a SPSS programm and I can't load a save game"

Describe this part more detailed please

Where do you see saves list, in SPSS or KaM or Explorer?
What SAV do you try to load, SPSSs or KaMRemakes?
Where do you try to load SAV, in SPSS or KaMRemake and through what?

Yeah, i guess it is not clear. When i try to load a save game i get the message in the attachment. And when i go look for that file in the map i see what is in the other attachment. For example autosave01.sav is changed in the name autosave01 and the .sav created the SPSS document, which is indicated by the blue red symbol.

You know how i can solve that? It would help me a great deal

First screen looks okay, Windows often hides extensions for files who are associated with some program (SPSS in your case). This is not to worry about.

Second screen is the real problem, so the game fails to open the SAV. When exactly does this happen, when you enter Saves menu or Replays menu or when you click on the item or when you press Load button?

Please attach the latest log from KaM Remake\Logs folder, where you have tried to load the game and got this error. There could be some more info.

If you can't find those folders then you have the Remake installed under Program Files and the files have been put in the Windows Virtual Store. You will find them under somewhere like:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\KaM Remake". Since Vista Windows is trying to make Program Files not writeable by programs, so anything saved it stored there.


By the way, this reminds me, you can reinstall the Remake to a different location (outside of Program Files), maybe that helps too.
