Do you have an A drive? If so, is there a disk in it? Try saving to your C drive instead.

I wonder if it's a permission problem. I've read that windows 10 has lots of that kind of stuff going on. You might try logging in to windows 10 as an administrator and see if that helps. You also might try running SheetCam as an administrator.

Win10 isn't normally that up tight about permissions. Do you have any problems saving other files to the A drive? SheetCam doesn't do anything clever when it saves so it shouldn't have trouble. As a last resort you could post to your C drive then copy the file to your A drive.
