Problems unlocking factions

[Tigo01]

Follow everything to the T, but when I try and save the file it says that it cannot be created and to make sure the path/name is correct. Could this have something to do with Vista or what?

Do you have read only enabled?

Read only has been unchecked..in fact it was not even checked when I went to do it if I remember correctly. Still no working. :-(

I've heard someone say that this works for Vista, but i'm not a Vista user, so im not entirely sure on this.

-Copy the file to another directory as a backup.
-Edit the file, but when saving, go Save As and enter a different name (adding something like a 1 on the end should do, nothing complex).
-Copy the editted file into the directory where the descr_strat (or whatever its called) originally was.
-Delete the original file (make sure you've got your backup uneditted elsewhere).
-Rename the editted file back into the name of the original file.

I think I heard this in another thread and it worked for someone, so give it a shot.
