When it asks you to save, you need to provide a path to a folder in which you can save the file.

When the 'Save' dialogue box opens, look at the very top drop-down menu.

It may open in "My Documents" it may open at another folder.

You need to keep clicking the 'UP" arrow till you arrive at 'Computer'.

If you are ok with using the file structure of a windows computewr, please let me know so I can stop preaching to the converted.

Otherwise, I patient and happy to answer questions.
