Permission denied - Data/move2anim.dat

[Iove]

When I try to run the game via the green button on Pokemon Essentials - RPG Maker XP, it would blackscreen and give me this message.

E---------------------------
Pokemon Essentials
-----------------------------
Exception: Errno::EACCES
Message: Permission denied - Data/move2anim.dat
Compiler:2706:in `save_data'
Compiler:2706:in `pbCompileAnimations'
Compiler:4133:in `pbCompileAllData'
Compiler:4219

Can anyone help me with this problem? Also after I edit the game and try to save, it would ask me if I'd like to save but when I click 'yes' it doesn't save and asks me if I want to save it again when I try to run it.

The file is locked so you can't access to it for writing (i guess).
If RMXP and your game are in the same folder, move RMXP in an other folder because RMXP lock files in its folder. If the folder isn't in a "Adminstrator free space" (In your document or in your desktop) move it here. (Some apps can't write in Program Files and other folder like this).

I've moved RMXP into a folder on my desktop (separate from where Pokemon Essentials is) but it's still giving me the same error. Any other ideas?

Where's your game folder ?

If you mean the Pokemon Game, it's also on my desktop, but in a separate folder.

Ok, do a right click on the move2anim.dat file and check if it's "Read only" or if you have rights on this file (read/write/modify etc...)

Read-only was unchecked and it has all permissions (read, write, modify, full control, etc.)
