There is a dust limit on the transaction outputs as per the protocol rules. It is generally about 546 satoshis.

This means that each of the output of the transaction should be larger than the 546 satoshis. How much are you trying to send? Before sending, can you check the transaction by pressing 'Preview' and check if any of the outputs are lower than 546 satoshis?

This usually happens when the base unit was set to mBTC which causes confusion for newbies;
You can set it into "BTC" by clicking "Tools->Preferences->General Tab->Base Unit".

Glad to hear that but can you tell us how exactly did you manage to solve the problem?
Was it because of using outputs smaller than 546 Satoshis or because of setting the denomination to mBTC instead of BTC?
It may be helpful for others having the same issue.

I guess it's using mBTC instead of BTC. In fact, it's both. When you use mBTC and try to send fund like 0.001 mBTC, it will be the same of lower than the minimum of 546 satoshi. It will cause the same problem. There's no other cause of occuring this I guess.
