Hello Sunshine: Try doing this:
When it asks you the file name to save, give it a full path, for example: C:\filename.mp3 Or better yet, create a folder inside c:\ for the files, for example: C:\tts And then when saving a file, type: C:\tts\filename.mp3 That is what I do and it works fine. Of course, you must have previously selected to save in MP3, the bit rate and sampling.
