Has anyone ever had the keyboard freeze when trying to save? Cursor won't move either. I noticed a message in the save column before three finger saluting my way out, it said SAVEINFO.DXS missing!!!! or something like that. Re-install? Maybe just something I can grab off the disc and put in a folder? Anyone know?

Ack, that's a bad one: a savegame in DX saves a copy of every level in that mission, and a saveinfo.dxs that tells the game how they all stick together and stuff. (this is why DX savegames are often huge)
Sometimes if it borks while saving, it never makes the saveinfo, and...that's basically "your save is fucked"..so hopefully you have an earlier save.
If this is happening everytime you try to save, then yeah: reinstall.

I uninstalled it then ran CCleaner for the registry just in case of vestiges. Re-installed it, but the same thing is happening.
EDIT: It turns out that when you uninstall Deus Ex, the one folder it doesn't take off your drive is SAVES. I guess this is so you can keep saved games, the game doesn't ask you to play Training because it's your first time playing, etc. So I uninstalled again and then used Eraser to get rid of the SAVES folder, then re-installed and now it's OK.
