Please use the search function, I answered this ages ago.

You need to run the editor as an administrator. Your account has to be an administrator. What is happening is the map is being made without your account having permission to access it. As such it appears invisible to you but does exist. Turn on hidden items in explorer and then rightclick the map file and change its permissions. Add full permissions for that file to your account. Double clicking on the file should request it be given to your account (which you can do if your account is an administrator).

This is caused by Windows vista/7 account security. Look up that if you have further problems.
