loading and saving thief 3 games

I just got thief 3 but I have some problems. When I load a map it stays on the loading screen for 3-5 minutes then goes to my desk top for about 2 minutes then back to the loading screen where I finaly see a progress bar. Whats going on?
And how do I save a game? I havent seen a save button anywhere.

Do you have the latest video drivers? According to Eidos support, Radeon series video cards have issues with old drivers and Thief 3. Upgrade yours here: http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/w...x=7&submit.y=7

Uninstall the game, Uninstall drivers, reinstall drivers, reinstall the game. Its worth a try. Did you try lowing AA/AF or messing around with in-game settings?
