[Qgis-user] Newbie: New Shapefile Layer Won't Save

[eric at greatriverair.com]

I'm pretty sure this is basic, but I'm stymied.
 
QGis 2.2.0
Running on Windows 7 Pro
Plugins: A M  Flightplanner, OpenLayers, GRASS
 
Attempting: Layer ->New->New Shapefile Layer; Select Polygon,
 
When I try to Save the New Shapefile Layer I get the following error mssg:
 
Creation of OGR data source C:/Program Files (x86)/QGIS Valmiera/bin/example.shp failed: Failed to open Shapefile 'C:/Program Files (x86)/QGIS Valmiera/bin\example.shp'
