Problems with saving cfg files after edit?

Postby schirmerdt » Thu Dec 11, 2008 4:46 pm

I know this is probably an easy fix but I try to add a/c repaints and edit the cfg files in notepad like most would do. However some of the cfg files will not save after an edit has occured it will tell that I have to make sure that the path and file name are correct.  Is there any way I can get around this???

Yup - check the .cfg 'properties' tab to see if it isn't 'read-only'. If it is, un-check, save and there you go. :)
