So you quit Thief? Sorry to hear, the game is quite difficult to get working for some.

EDIT: I just read your EDIT2, which I somehow missed previously and thus why I was confused. Now I am really confused. Saves reverting? Cheats not working? Your laptop seems to have killed all enjoyment for the game...

I wish I knew what to say. It makes no sense for the saves to change suddenly if you did indeed copy them after reaching the Caverns.

If you are that desperate, you can try for the Tfix as I suggested before. It isn't vanilla (though you can get rid of certain junk files to make it more true to the original), but it might fix whatever hardware problems you have. There is a reason why you didn't really hear of many people touching this game until recently.

A quick look online suggests it might also be some other process conflicting.
