Descr_strat.txt help

[King_Xerxes]

Ok, so I am trying to edit the file for the grand campaign, Descr_strat.txt. Whenever i edit it it tells me that it is unable to create the file. It tells me that the path or file name is incorrect. Though, I am positive it is.

Any Help?

This is an easy one methinks. The file you are trying to edit is set to read only. Untick the read only option, apply. Make the changes to the file and save it. Then set the file to read only again.

I've already unchecked "Read Only". It still doesn't let me save it.

Oh

are you running vista? if so theres another way around it.

[King_Xerxes]

Yes I am using Windows Vista.

ah right then. you can do one of two things here. First you can disable user account control in the control panel, restart your comp and it will let you change the read only thing.

Secondly, the shorter but more frustrating way is to copy the file to your desk top, disable read only, apply, make changes to the file, save. re-apply read only. Once you have done that, cut or copy the file from your desktop and paste back into the original folder.

Either way it should fix your problem.

Let me know how you get on.

I am confused Becuz i can able/disable read only. Its just telling me that the path or file is incorrect. I 've edited the file but when i click save it tells me path or file is incorrect and i cant save it.

Have you tried what I said above. Im almost certain this will solve your problem as I had the same problem myself with my vista laptop a week or so ago.

The reason it's telling you that the path or filename is incorrect is because the file is read only and you are trying to replace the file by saving, which it wont let you do.

Wait so i have the read only disabled but, i can edit it but cant save it. I should try one of the 2 above?

Yes thats correct, you can edit all ya want but windows vista won't let you save changes to certain read only files.
