GD Permissions Errors

I am using JPGraph and it is generating one image graph without a problem but the second from the same script to the same folder fails with a permission error. I am guessing that the failing graph is using the GD library while the other is not. Since this on a local development system (Windows with Apache2) and the folder permissions are for full read and write, I'm not sure what to do or where to look.

The graph that is working totally obscures the error message so I had to view the page's source code to get it:

JpGraph Error: 25107 Can't write to file "C:/Server/Sites/testsite/jpgraph/Temp/2012-08-19_15:35:45.png". Check that the process running PHP has enough permission.

Okay, having written the above and while reviewing it, I answered my own question so I'll post anyway in case it helps anyone else. The problem is the [bold]:[/bold] (colon) in the file name! Apparently the Linux server doesn't care but the Windows development system here does. After changing it to a [bold]-[/bold] (dash) it now works.
