[!now] error message whenever I try to export files

this error message has randomly started happening since i updated illustrator. I have done a clean windows install and it still happens. All I am doing is trying to export designs at 300dpi as a png. I cannot export anything now. And as a work around I have to copy the designs to photoshop and export using that. However I don't like this option as the file is not a vector anymore. I have searched the internet everywhere and can't find anyone with this issue. Please HELP

Had the same issue just now. I'm pretty sure that it was because the output filename was too long; I unchecked the Suffix option and that fixed it.

I was having this problem too; I checked "Use Artboards" when exporting and then it worked fine!
