What does " The specified folder is not writable" mean?

Hi. I've been trying to export to my hard drive and this keeps popping up...? I thought it was that hard drive so I bought another one and put it in and it is saying the same thing 😞 if anyone can help a girl out... Please do.

Please try exporting to your desktop folder. What happens?

Also, is this about Flash Player? If not, what Adobe app are you using?

It's hard to say.  "When in doubt, reboot" is a good place to start, if you haven't gone there already.  If not, you'll need to get super specific about what operating system you're on, exactly what you're trying to accomplish, a step-by-step on how you're going about it, and what exactly the error(s) say.  Screenshots never hurt.
