When wanting to edit .CFG files in Windows vista it gives me an error message when I click save on exit saying this is denied.

When trying to save the file under a different name e.g Panel.1 it still deny.
Anyone had this error?

Any solutions to how I can bypass this besides dumping my box into the pool?

I think Vista treats CFG files located in Program Files as protected system files. Try pasting a copy of the CFG file you wish to edit to a different location. Then paste it back after saving changes, overwriting files/folders when prompted.

Yes you are right, I copied the panel file to the desktop, edited the file and replaced the old and woalla it worked.

Thanx for the help, greatly appreciated. Now I can add my textures.

 I had the same problem until I turned User Account Control off.  Go to help, type in "User Account Control", click on turn on or off, and it will guide you through the rest.  The only downside is a pop-up that appears when you start your computor but it beats having to copy everything to edit it.

It does this occasionally when editing the aircraft.cfg  It only does it for some though, and I`m logged in as administrator.  The copy to desktop bit has always got around it though.

You could just right click and properties of the Flight Simulator X folder go to  edit user permissions and give xxx\Users full permissions. Then you'd have no problems.
