Removing write protection impossible

Skybird · 09-12-09, 07:29 AM

I installed an older sim. I patched it, and manually added some track files (need no installation, only moving of folders).

Works. Nice.

Wanted to add an old mod (needs installation) that has worked before. Additonal vehicle class shows not up in menues, mod not functional.

I checked the sim folder. I see all files and folders are write-protected. I untick them (using the option that unprotects also all subfolders and files). I move the mod-exe from DVD to HD, it also is not write-protected. I run it.

Does not install.

checking the sim folder, I see that again everything is write-protected. I untick it again, and imm ediately check the status: and see that even unticking thw rite proetction box, leaves all folders and files write proptected.

I cannot make them unprotected.

It worked all nice before with the old installation. I used no files that had not been working before, and no new stuff.

Ideas? XP over here.
