    I cant edit some of my files because they are put as read only. I have tried right clicking on the directory and unticking the box which says read only. i then click apply. When i right click on the directoryn it says read only again. I am getting really angry at this now.....:duh:

    well its my gta3 direc which is in program files. i have tried messing with the whole program files direc,gta3 direc and the individual files inside the gta3 direc.


    :edit: ive just tried with a different profile and it stays the same, ive also tried copying the directory to the root directory but it makes no difference.
