How do I gain access to it. I changed the read-only, but it insists that I be denied access to change it.

Make sure you're in (myDocuments)\sh4\data\cfg

NOT C:\(gameinstallpath)

I am in the correct folder and working on the correct file. I can't modify it.

That could result from not having appropriate account settings (such as not being an administrator, or your account not having 'Write' privileges), which is a Windows issue. It could also be caused by Windows UAC being a jerk (came as standard with all Win. versions post-Vista. I turned mine completely off).

This may seem like a silly question (but Occam makes me ask it anyway), you're not trying to alter the config file while the game is running, right?

Some mods disable the ability to change certain settings. They can be changed but once put to sea the mod uses the internal settings created by the modder.

Switching back and forth would be like switching from a a standard gear shift to and automatic. Then back to a standard. Then auto, or standard, no auto. Standard then?
