This is driving me crazy (virtual/hidden store?)

I'm writing this after been crying for a while. And this is not a joke, the level of frustration has been really high.
I was working in my game in a windows Xp machine util it becomes to slow that I've decided to buy a new one with windows Vista as operative system.
There was a problem since the beginning of this new painful relationship (I want to try this computer!!!):
For some reason the new levels that I've added to my game are not being saved in the default root directory (I'm using 1.1.3) but are available when TGB is open (something i can't really understand).
Well, everything was going on well (after I've set up TGB permissions to be written under vista) until this morning: I have two versions of my game, one in spanish, one in english (identical code except for those stuff that must be translated), I was working with the english version, so I've decided to close the project and open the spanish version and now everything is a nightmare: the version opened is a month old version! and the datablock.cs is a mess.
I'm really crying because I didn't anything stupid to do this. I'm aware of a virtual store in my machine, but I can't access it. I'm almost sure that the problem has to do with this virtual store, but I have no a clue on how to fix this.
May somebody know anything about this? This is really several problem - it has to do with Vista? should i work 1.1.3 under XP only?
Thanks for the clarification
I forgot to say that despite I've uninstalled Torque Game Builder software and deleted the folder -you won't believe-: Torsion is still opening the cs files!!! Would this be a Torsion bug instead of TGB?

I'd go with Matt. The files are being saved somewhere else and thats probably why you had an older version. A file search should pull them up (at least a wildcard search).

I have a solution for this: work in the game and never open a new project until finish this. Otherwise I don't know what to do since i can't access that Virtual Store folder...
What is a wildcard search?
Thanks!
