A couple weeks ago i installed a new hard drive in my laptop because the one i had before went bad. I couldnt recover anything from the bad drive and so i had to install all the software in my laptop from the ground up, including drivers, updates, operating system, etc. Before the old hard drive went bad, minecraft was working perfectly; there was no lag, nothing wrong with it. I believe i have installed all the necessary drivers on the new hard drive and i also have the latest version of java and the game seems to run ok.. until you 'save and quit'. after uiting the game and reentering, no blocks (including non solid) that have been added or removed in chunks you did not 'save and quit' in simply revert themselves back to when the world was generated. Now this seems to be somewhat sporadic; sometimes the game will save fine; sometimes one chunk will save but another will not; sometimes only some of the changes to a chunk will save and others changes wont; the list goes on. I researched a little and found that for some people running the game in 'compatibility mode' made the game work fine. the only thing this seems to do for me is crash the game 50% of the time and disable the use of sound (trying to increase sound or music crashes the game). I am currently running 1.4.5 and if ANYBODY has any suggestions, it would be very appreciated. thank you
ps: i have windows vista: home premium
pss: i also tried running the game as administrator; seemed to work for a bit and then it didnt, also tried running as admin same time i was running in compatibility mode; didnt work

I'm having exactly the same problem, no idea how to fix it or get around it yet, I'm going to try playing in offline mode in a moment.
I just wanted to know what compatibility mode is?
If you right click on the executable (the icon you use to start minecraft) and go to 'properties', there's a section labeled 'compatibility' where you can check 'run in compatibility mode' and then click 'apply' then 'okay'. im not sure what it does exactly but that;s what some people say works for them
