I can't save some of my projects!!!

I was making a project, and after I save it the first time it asks "Save failed. Folder read-only?" and the only option is "OK". Plus, when you click okay on that error message, it doesn't save and it makes you save it as something AGAIN and AGAIN. It only happens on
very few projects I have made. What's happening? How do I fix it???

Have you tried saving it to a different location?

When you save the project, you're saving it to the "My Projects" folder by default. Click on one of the icons on the left of the "save" window to save it to somewhere else, such as your desktop.

This is usually because the file name contains symbols (\ / : * ? " < > |). Try to avoid them.
