The most likely reason this happens is if you are trying to run the program from the CD-ROM and have set the default drive to the CD-ROM. The problem is that the program is trying to open an output file on the default device. Now, you cannot create a new file on the CD-ROM. It is possible to run from the CD-ROM, but you must leave the default drive set to a hard disk.
