Cannot save Process in Rapidminer

I have reinsatlled Rapidminer 8 since I have cloned my hard disk to a new one. I am able to import excel data perfectly well
However when I started to save my process , it say cannot save process at //Repository/xx . After reading help articles in the forum . I deleted old instance of C:/User/Rapidminer . Did a fresh install but still the problem remained
Next I created a fresh repository folder and tried saving but the same error keep popping up. I am dissapointed since I use rapidminer regularly

Below is the error log. Data1 is the subfolder in my NewLocal repository.

    Hi,
    the process is named p: It is not allowed to use :  in process names, simply because windows doesn't like it.

    Hi,
    RM tries to write to C:\Users\UserName\.RapidMiner not C:\Users\Manoj\.RapidMiner
    Can you please check?
    Best,
