The error message is clear, you need to set the directory data and all its sub directories and files to wirtable 755 or 777 so the program can write and update these files.

Everyone of the files and directories are at 755. Any other ideas?

This is a windows permissions problem.. You dont have permission to write on these files.

You have to change users permissions on the server for the files so you can write on them.

Make sure your cgi directory is correct in admin -> configuration.
