Answer 1

Looks like a Windows security issue.

My guess is that the appropriate user account only has Write permissions to C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\web\WebUI\Editors\CME\Themes\Carbon2\Images\MMIcons. If you give the account Modify permissions, the problem should go away.

Answer 2

I receive the same error message when I attempt to change an existing icon. I also edited the permissions on the MMIcons folder to for modify permissions. It may be necessary to change permissions on the entire folder path.

Have you also checked to make sure that the image is roughly the same file size as the one it's replacing?

Answer 3

I had the same symptoms and kept on "Saving and Closing", eventually it managed to save the icon... (at the fourth save & close attempt)
