I can't save games!

I’ve recently tried out a few visual novels (made with Ren’Py), but I’ve discovered that I can’t save my game for later. I click the save button and I’m given a list of empty save slots but when I click on one I get a stark white screen that says “An exception has occurred.” I am not at all computer savvy and this is all very intimidating to me. Here is the Markdown code it gives me:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 372, in __call__
    renpy.save(fn, extra_info=save_name)
Exception: Not saved - no valid save locations.
