Hard to say, but some possibilities:
1. You have funky characters in the file name/path. Avoid periods, commas, etc. and try to stick to regular alphanumeric characters
2. Your internet browser doesn't like you. Try using Firefox, Safari, Opera, or some other browser.
3. Something went wrong when you saved it. Try saving it again, and in a different location.
Given the error message, I'd most likely suspect #1 is the issue. Good luck.

I'd like to add a note regarding file naming:
Also, it is not a good idea to create file names with spaces in them. The spaces get converted to %20 (you won't see this happen) and may cause the file name to break during the upload. If you need spaces, use the underscore character.
Another good practice is to not use capital letters in file names. Windows doesn't care, but other operating systems do. For example, Unix/Linux interprets MyFile.jpg as being a file different from myfile.jpg .
