Fallout 3 Saves

Ok, so i download Fallout 3 from Steam on Friday afternoon and played it brilliantly no problems. I then download the update for it, and ALL my save games have gone.

Now, if i browse through the files in the steam directory to Fallout3, i CAN find the save files themselves but i have no idea where to copy and paste them to, in order to be able to use them.

Ive gone through the net and a lot of people are blaming it on Games For Windows Live (fail) and the fact that you have to paste the save files into that directory. But..... i never signed up for a GFWL account so whats the point?

Help! im running XP for those who have an answer lol

Cheers

i can find the save files but i dont know how to get the game to recognise them so that i can play from them!

Why dont you start a new game and save it and see where it puts the new save file?

That is actually a brilliant idea....... lol thanks

Well, i just completed it - i stuck pretty much to the main story and well, its pretty short really. I saved before the end and tried the three choices of ending. Sacrafice myself, let her die or insert the FEV virus. Neither result was particularly inspiring. I suppose now i should go back and do all the side quests. Cant seem to get motivated though!
