That usually means the Save Path setting is pointing somewhere where you can't create new files.

Do you know where it should be???
Do I have to create some file???

The Save Path setting is on the Paths tab of the ScummVM Options dialog. You should set it to a directory (also known as a folder in some operating systems) where you want ScummVM to store saved games.

Just set it to somewhere where SVM can create a new save file.

That means where there is *enough space left* (like a few hundred KB each),
which *isn't write-protected* (not the CD-ROM or a write-protected USB-stick),
and you (as the user) are *allowed to write to* (i.e. least-privileged users must not write to C:\Windows or C:\Program Files under Windows XP and non-roots must not write to /etc, /bin, etc. under GNU/Linux)

It Works!!!

Thank's Guys for the support!!!
Now I will enjoy some hours with monky island!

Sweet!!!
