AutoCAD fails to save a drawing

The reason for inability to save your AutoCAD project is probably that the location name is too long. To verify this, attempt to save your project directly to Desktop by using the "Save As…" menu. If the file can be saved to Desktop, then you can either set the default location for files in the AutoCAD's preferences itself to Desktop or try to run AutoCAD "As administrator" by right clicking it and selecting the appropriate option.
