That error message means that the game (for some reason) can't write to the save directory. This could be due to:

Insufficient space
Insufficient permissions
My Documents folder is located in a root folder (e.g. D:\ instead of D:\Documents)

Possible solutions you could try are:

Making sure you have enough disk space in your My Documents folder
Try running the game as an Administrator (in Vista: right-click on shortcut -> Run as administrator)
If you have changed the location of your "My Documents"-folder to a root drive, try changing it to a subfolder (not D:\ but D:\Documents for instance) -- btw, this prevents a lot of problems with other games!

Let us know what worked for you!
