Have you moved your site? Did you create that directory by hand?

Make sure the mentioned files directory exists and Web server has write access to it.
Most probably Drupal can't create the directory in question.

If you have a question about,
or a problem with,
a specific module (a 'project'),
or a specific theme (also a 'project'),
the recommended 'best' way to get help at drupal.org:

  1. Look first;... [_Search_]

    This is a platinum-gold realization I made...
    ...The best of all possible searches
    for Drupal Module-specific or Theme-specific
    issues/ questions/ problems/ suggestions/
    or support requests, ...

    Search from any of a project's 'issues' pages,
    (or its specific 'home' page)
    to limit that search to all and only
    the issues concerning that specific project.

  2. ... then 'leap'. <_Create_new_Issue_>

    Assuming you did Not find whay you were looking for...

    Click a project issue page's
    link: 'Create new issue'; and for 'Category',
    if in doubt, specify 'Support request'.

For more details
(too many details; presently)
on getting help on specific projects, see...

Check you file system path
if its like "sites/default/files"
go to files directory and give 777 permission to files/ctools

run CRON check status report.

If error still exist just create files/ctools/css and give permission 777

CHEERS!!!
