AHA!!! Adding the MetaData subfolder has solved my problem. Thank you, Tigranes. I will have to berate my friend who insisted that Checkpoints and Profile were the only subfolders within the "...My Documents/Alpha Protocol" folder. Success. Now perhaps I can attempt to enjoy this game, though everyone else is complaining about it lol.

Re-downloading and re-installing hasn't helped. For the benefit of those looking into the problem, My Documents is on a drive other than C:\ and my Steam games are installed in a sub-folder of My Documents.

So, I manually created the 'checkpoints' and 'profile' subfolders to 'alpha protocol' in my documents. I can successfully save the game, i can even see the .sav files in my 'checkpoints' folder, but cannot load them from the in-game menu. I have the steam version of the game and had to manually create the save folders for Mirror's Edge and Mass Effect 2 as well. Tonight I'm going to try re-downloading the game instead of re-installing from a backup. This is going to chew up my bandwidth, but it's all I can think of to try.
