Solved: Can't save files I edit in "Program Files"?
When I edit game files and such in there (with Notepad), it won't let me save. It comes up with this: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c9...luva/Error.jpg

I have Vista and I'm the administrator. I know I used to be able to save them in XP...I've done it plenty of times. But since I got Vista I haven't been able to save a single one.

Anyone know why this is happening and a solution for it?


Thanks in advance ^__^

"I'm the administrator"
NO, you are "A" administrator and do NOT have permission to write to the folder that you are trying to save to. Remember that on Vista you do NOT have the same rights as you did on XP.
