I want to make some change's in de ini file, name, gamma, skip movies and so on.
The problem is I can't save the change's, it says "Access denied".
I use windows 7.

Help is welcome.

Check and make sure its not in use by a program 1st. 2nd check and make sure its not a read only file in its properties.

Isn't it that W7 problem that you can't modify files in program files ? AFAIK DW does not even work correctly when it is installed in program files.

DW works fine in Windows 7 in the program files folder, but there are some hoops you sometimes have to jump through when you want to modify anything. Changing user permissions, removing the file from the program files directory to edit it, etc.

If you "Run as Administrator" notepad, and then open the .ini file, then you should be able to modify the file in the Program Files structure. But next time, try to avoid this hassle and install the game in a folder you made yourself elsewhere.
