You are initiating the save from the disk icon button at the top of the game screen, extreme left button?

I am beginning to think you might have to restart your computer but that might mean losing the current turn game data.

Or just save it w/o any naming for now.

Edit: The program will always put the game date in the file name.

Status: offline 		OK, I'm going to take nothing for granted here because the game interface is sometimes not intuitive.

1. When you made the comment "The button in the player comment box does nothing when I click on it. There should be a text box pop-up. Any help would be appreciated. ", it appears you are looking at the player comment box. You have to click in the blank area and type your comment, then click the OK button.

2. After the steps at 1., the text comment appears in the saved game slot but the game itself is not saved yet. If you clicked "Exit" immediately the game does not save and your title text is erased from the slot. You have to go all the way over to the left and hit the (almost hidden) "Save" button first. You should see the disk busy symbol for a few seconds to show it is saving the file. When it stops, hit Exit to return to the game.

If you did that I am out of ideas about the problem.
