error trying to save in Alice 2.2

I just upgraded to Alice 2.2 and tried to add an object a new world; got an error message with the following details. If I run the "IfAliceFailsTryThis.exe" Alice 2.2 runs just fine, but I have to run the executable every time. Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

Alice version: 2.2 1/16/2009
