Can't edit the cfg for snorkel in OM

MADLOU · 07-17-09, 10:30 PM

Help! For some reason, I can not edit the command cfg file in OM to be able to use the snorkel. Every time I edit the file, the file will not save! Help! I love this mod! But I need the snorkel! Thanks!

What sort of error do you get when you try to save?

Are you running Vista and do you have SH4 installed in Program Files?

I have Vista 64 and the game is installed in program files.

Your problem is "vista" will not allow "hand changes" to files that are in the "Program Files" directory.

You need to read these two threads

Thank you. I installed in the programs folder and have not had a hitch until trying to change the cfg. file. I guess I will have to reinstall one day.

Try this when editing a file in vista

With UAC turned on, you're not running as an administrator normally. That's why you can't edit it. The simplest thing to do is to right-mouse click notepad and choose "run as administrator". You'll be prompted with a UAC prompt. You should then be able to edit and save the file.
