What should I do in this situation

Disk write error problem.

Got it, Darius. The most common cause of getting a disk write error is having bad sectors on the hard drive. It's also possible that your disk is write protected and have set specific permissions. To help sort out the issue, please run or install the program
or software in compatibility mode. Follow these steps:

• Right-click the EXE file or the program's shortcut and select Properties.
• Select the Compatibility tab.
• Under Compatibility mode, tick the box for Run this program in compatibility mode and select the appropriate operating system or the version of Windows you want to use.
• Click Apply, then OK.

Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows for more information.

If the issue persists, please send us a screenshot of the error message so we can further check on it.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Regards.
