      Find the file.
      Select its icon.
      Write-click.
      Context-menu.
      Properties.
      Security.
      Edit...
      Give each of the users/groups listed FULL permissions.
      Apply/OK to save the changes.

      Also check that the containing folder[s] have similar rights??

      Also set SketchUp.exe to 'always run as administrator' in the Properties > Compatibility dialog...

        It is default, full permissions, I did not change anything. I have not any other maps, I did not use this version yet. I had Sketchup 8 before, but I used it very infrequently.

          Please rephrase.
          What 'Maps' ?
          The actual file/folder path you refer to is:
          C:\ProgramData\Sketchup\SketchUp 2013\SketchUp13.lf
          If the file/folder is hidden from you, you might need to change your 'Folder Options' to be able to see it ?

            Is it possible that I get this message because of my hard disc is almost full?

              Excuse me, not "maps", I mean folders.

                  Try uninstalling v2013 completely... then reinstalling v2013 from scratch...
                  Check folder permissions [including Plugins] are FULL...

                  If your Computer has very little spare disk-space I suggest you try some 'house-keeping' to tidy it up...

                    I have reinstalled and installed 5 times everything. I made "housekeeping", now I have free space. But I get this warning anyway all the time. I can continue use Sketchup, it is only irritating. 😠 I have not installed any plugins, I did not installed or saved any other folders, it is a brandnew Sketchup Make. Have you any more advice?

                      Try to start SU with administrator rights. Does this help?

                        How can I do that? I can not choose either at downloading, installing or starting the program. I am the administrator and only user of my computer.

                          Rightclick on the SU symbol, choose properties (?), compatibility (?), start program with admin rights (?)
