avr-gcc: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory exit status 1 Error com

Development Tools IDE 1.x

I've been sorting through posts here trying to fix this errror but none of the suggestions have worked so far. I've reinstalled the Arduino IDE and used the web interface as well but so far still nothing.
It's particularly odd because I see that I have connectivity maintained- one of my arduino nanos has a program that writes to the serial monitor and I can see the program continually update in serial monitor in this instance but still can't complete sending 'blink' to the module. In fact I can't even verify without this error:

Thanks for any clues!!

I finally sorted out this problem. I had a 3rd party software (Commodo) interefering with permissions, after uninstalling, i was able to load things normally. I tried to delete this post as a result, but it looks like I can't so I guess I'll follow up with this info for reference. Thanks!

I'm glad to hear it's working now @salukikev. The antivirus software can cause some very confusing problems. Thanks for taking the time to post an update with your solution. I'm sure others with the same issue who find this post while searching for a solution will be very grateful for that.
