I just tried this, creating a new game in the top dir in my other hard drive mapped to D: and it worked.

Have you installed this AGS using the provided setup file? Is this folder a regular other hard drive or is this some network drive? Is there any other software (Windows Explorer, a terminal, ...) with that compiled dir opened at the same time AGS is accessing it?

I have had this issue on 3 different computers, which leads me to believe that my file is corrupted, which is a mild crisis since I've been working on this on and off since 2006.

I just installed the newest patch of AGS on a new computer. My AGS files are on a flash drive. I can't currently find any other folders it's accessing. Thought I might have the game open or something, but just 1 ags file.

_Debug\acres.exe is a temporary exe created for game testing. You may try to delete it by hand, and see if that helps.
