having issues with windows 10

hi im currently having issues with being able to change any of my cfg files it just keeps saying i dont have permission to make changes etc anybody else had anything similar?

You need to use an editor with elevated (admin) privileges.

 

Use notepad++ or similar, and set notepad++ to always run as admin

 

OR you can copy your cfg somewhere else (desktop or my documents etc), edit it, save it, then copy back and overwrite the old one.

ok danke sehr i shall go try that and get back to you :]

You can also find notepad.exe in the windows folder and right click it to change properties and select run as administrator, but that's less recommended.

I have found this can cause big problems with certain ET mods bizarrely

How odd!

 

I avoided the whole issue four years ago when I built this computer by copying the whole ET-installation from the old computer to a separate (not C:) HD = no problems.  

 

I had to imitate the /program files/ wolf... directory structure so that Pinoy's program would work more conveniently.
