Can't find song folder?

I'm afraid I may have a corrupted eof file.  When I try to save it says it can't find the song folder but trying to reconnect it through file>song folder doesn't seem to work.  It asks if I want to recreate the folder but if I say yes it pops up an error message saying it failed.  And since it won't save, it won't update the xml files.  Any ideas?

EOF's log file should give the Operating System's reason for the error.  Usually it's something like a permission issue (your project file is in a protected location such as within "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)") or the folder is marked as hidden or something.  Usually in a worst-case scenario, you can use "File>Save as" to save someplace else.

I mentioned the Program Files folders specifically because all versions of Windows newer than XP have a security mechanism that denies programs write access to anything in those folders unless the program prompts you to give it administrator access (an "allow program to make changes to the computer" prompt) or if you launch the program by right clicking on it and selecting the option to run it as administrator.
