I am having trouble saving scenes in softimage 2013. I can't save them because of A) an invalid project location or B) the disk is write protected errors. Help? Thanks!

Save as a new scene. I get this problem often when saving scenes that I created with another version of Windows.

You should really post how exactly you solved the problem in case other people in the future have the same issue.
