Boderlands PC Game Workaround: Side-by-side and Cannot Save (Windows Vista)

Problem:  Side-by-side error (cannot start the game).
Solution:  Download and install Visual C++ 2008 SP1.

Problem:  Cannot save (no save data or start from beginning everytime you exit dan restart the game):
Solution:  Modify the shortcut icon:

1. Right-click the shortcut icon at desktop - Properties
   
2. Go to "Shortcut" tab, input "-nohomedir" (without the app sign) at Target, should look like this: "C:\Program Files\Borderlands\Binaries\Borderlands.exe" -nohomedir
3. Go to "Compatibility" tab, check "Run this program as an administrator"
4. Play and the game will autosave everytime you exit.  Make sure to make the profile at the first New-U Station (10 seconds into the game).

Hope this helps.  Enjoy.
