PC game fails to create world and crashes instead

[turtleman3]

hi, im just getting back into the game and i went to open the game to find all my saves were wiped. i decided to just make a new character/world, but when i try to make a world specifically the game just crashes and displays these two error messages

does anyone know what could be causing this and if its maybe a problem with my pc instead of the game???

The error message seems like the game encounters an access error when creating files. Try opening Terraria as admin.
