Hi Reddy25,

>How would that help exactly in solving my error

It will help you to find more detail of error in log file. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS and take recent text file. Now find this correlation id in that text file to know more about this error.

Let us know that detail

It means you don't have proper permission or permission is breaking somewhere. We can not forget SP log if such case happens and we don't care to check log. If you ask such thing without any information then we may not able to help you because we will never know why it is happening. 

Please always remember, we have less visibility in forum about any issue so always give proper information for any issue or your setup.

Hope i make sense here
