so i downloaded code blocks on my pc which has microsoft vista and i followed all the directions so everything was installed properly. I went to file, new, project and pressed the console application. I followed the wizard, but when it was time for me to save my file under the name I provided it said that I couldn't save the file. A window came up saying that the file could be write-protected. It then closed, and I tried to open the main, but it said the file "main" was not found because it did not exist. Now, I don't know what to do because I installed this program 3-4 times, twice on my mac and two times on my PC. I can't figure out what to do. anyone know?

Can only guess. Maybe the location where you wanted to save your project to has access rights which don't let the user Code::Blocks runs as write.

As you see: C::B already told you that.
