@churr_trin  In order to have any idea how to help you, I need to see a dxdiag.  You can run it and attach the results to a post in this thread.

@Unknowngirl28  Please disable OneDrive's automatic syncing of Documents with cloud storage:

Then see whether you can start a new save.

      @Unknowngirl28  In your screenshot, the option to "make all files available" is checked, meaning the (correct) selection you've made below it will be overruled.  Please uncheck that box, then test again.

        Unfortunately, it doesn't stay unchecked. I attached another screenshot to show you what it looks like when I uncheck before I press "ok."  Once I press 'ok' the screen disappears, so when I go back to see if it's all unchecked, the personal vault file is checked and there is a squire blue colored mark on the "make files available' button ( it looks like the first image I sent you). 

        I attached the picture to show you that I unchecked everything, before I press the 'ok' button! 

        I tried another approach: 

         I included another picture (screenshot 244) to show you what pops up if I try to unclick the 'vault file' individually. What to do now? Pls help!
