whenever I try to make changes to my car or any other car's paint job, I
am unable to save the car. I get the message "An error occurred while
saving the car file". I used to be able to make changes and import new
cars. Now I cant do either. I tried deleting the directory and starting
over by copying the cars directory from the CD

Sounds like the car file is read only.

Chances are when you copied the files from the CD, you made them read-only
as well. Change to the CARS directory and type "attrib -r *.*" or use
Explorer to change them back to read/write.

By copying the files from your CD, you inherited their file attributes.
The CD files are set to read only. You will need to turn-off the Read
Only attribute on all the files in your CARS directory.
