Can't Plot to a File

When attempting to plot to a file I am now receiving a message which reads "Cannot Open File!" and three options of either "Abort", "Retry" or "Ignore", none of which takes me anywhere. Retry and Ignore have the same effect as abort.After aborting this message I'm left with a message in the Command line which reads "Unknown Error Code 61185". Has anyone had this problem before or know how to fix it? If not, I'm dead in the water and the only other option is to uninstall AutocadLT and start over.

OK: you start plot command, you get the pop-up, you check the Plot to File
button and you get the message "Cannot Open File"? Try this: if you have the
plot file located in any place other than the default DWG file location,
click the browse button and select another. Most likely that folder is
either gone, you do not have write access to it.

If you get the problem because you have the driver by default set to plot to
file (and you do not set it in the PLOT window like I noted above),
re-install the driver.
