I'm logged in as administrator, and administrator has permission to edit the file. But it refuses permission to save editing changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a clean install before reverting back to Vista. I've heard from many now that W7 is working out better than Vista. In every case, each person performed a clean install.

Choose install, then on the disk screen select advanced options and choose 'format'. The program will do the rest for you. Thats what I did with an upgrade media and it worked fine.. I also took the opportunity to load the 64 bit version in case the old lady lets me upgrade my processor and MB one day to a 64 bit system I know that sounds messed up, but 64-bit loads just fine on a 32-bit system and runs like a champ. Its basically there waiting for the new hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
