If it works, then your account is screwed, same thing happened to me while I was trying to play BioShock, and I was screwing with the settings myself, I did something wrong.
Fresh install, and voilà!

Have you ever seen the permission table? Your account, TrustedInstaller and Administrator accounts are there, which means you have Admin permissions, yes however, didn't login into Administrator account.
Administrator account is a unique and standalone account.
As for @bigjt's question, fresh install of Windows 7, but you have to make sure it IS a permission problem, as it was for myself.

Your problem might be different from mine, so, I recommended to try in Administrator account to make sure we have same problem. Otherwise, your solution might be different, and I don't want you to re-install an operating system from scratch because of my stupidity.

Yep... what else is there? There is no seperate "Administrator Account." In my Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate, there's one account which is the 1 account I created at Windows installation and it is the Administrator account. There is no "stand alone" administrator account.

Awesome thank you. I'll give this a shot when I get back home. I guess I misunderstood what you were saying in your posts.
RE: Data will not save - Tanshaydar - 03-23-2011
I can't guarantee that will work. It's just an assumption because similar thing happened to me.
RE: Data will not save - tool - 03-26-2011
Did the command, opened the Administrator account, played the game under the Administrator account, tried to save it but it still won't work. The game will not actually write a save game data file to the Amnesia save games folder located in documents.
RE: Data will not save - tool - 03-28-2011
Any developer anywhere that's gonna help me out? I love this game, and wish I could play it, but the only option I have in doing that is pretty much playing the game ALL the way through in one sitting, since I pretty much cannot save the game.
RE: Data will not save - jens - 03-28-2011
Have you tried creating a new profile in the game? In case something went wrong when you created the original profile.
RE: Data will not save - tool - 03-28-2011
I will try right now.
Went in game, created a new profile, played through the first 5 minutes. Saved and exited. I then continued the game, played a bit more, saved and exited. I checked on my load game screen to see if it said the game saved. It did, like it always had before, with 2 saves showing in game.
I exit the game completely to the desktop and go to my documents folder. I check in the Amnesia save game area folder and there is no folder that was created of the new profile name I created, and of course there are no save game files either.
In other words, it does not seem to have worked.
Hmmm, there's a text file in my Documents/Amnesia/Main folder called hpl. It looks like a bunch of text that are logs for the game. It talks a bit about saves and stuff, but there are also some Warning errors as well. I'm gonna paste it here, as perhaps it may have something to do with my problem? The text file is attached.
RE: Data will not save - jens - 03-28-2011
There does not seem to be anything awfully wrong with the log, most of it are normal errors and warnings.
I don't have any other suggestions really. Perhaps some anti-virus program or similar that blocks the game from writing files, but I suppose it would pop up a warning if that was the case.
