Theme Hospital is Free on Origin

[Infernal Lawyer]

I really enjoyed Theme Hospital when I was younger, so I guess I have a reasons to use Origin now.

Ugh, the catch is that it doesn't save games. My copy keeps glitching and I can't get past level 1. I am glad I didn't pay for it now. Does anyone know how to get the files to save or do I have to keep DOS box running?

I've had a poke around GoG, and the common suggestions seem to be either running as Administrator and that Theme Hospital only recognises short filenames (8.3 format). This means if the source folder's name is longer than 8 characters, the game will not recognise it. Does that help?
