Mary, I was almost right. :) Here is the solution thread:

http://www.gog.com/en/forum/broken_sword_the_smoking_mirror/bs1_original_version_crashes_on_save

In short, you need to edit the "sword1.ini" file located in the game 
folder (right click -> open), and remove the line:

savepath="C:\Program Files..." (or whatever)

(If you are running Vista or Win7, it will probably not let you save the 
file, which is why you should never install games to "C:\Program Files" 
as I mentioned)

Pretty bad oversight from GOG to not have that fixed out of the box.
