Windows 7 GECK file Saving Problems

[ZombieUK]

I got Windows 7 Ultimate recently after my harddrive crashed, The problem is that when ever I wish to Edit or tweak with the files in the GECK, it wont let me save it. Says Access Denied, even on my previous Mods I created before my Harddrive crash!

 

This is stopping me from creating any more Mods in the future and I really wish to resolve this ASAP.

 

I can create new Saves/Plugin files, but I cant locate them in my Data Folder, they only show up in the Load Master/Plugin Files list. I tried to locate them in the hidden folders but the cpu says they do not exist.

 

Whats going on here? Windows 7 is doing wonders for cpu performance, I even got 64 bit from 32, tho Dunno what that exactly means, I get its a good thing havng 64 bit. Its just not letting me make my own personal tweaks and hanges to mods.

 

Is it something to do with Administrator Access? I cant access most files without running As Administrator, its flipping bothersome. No body else uses me cpu except me.

 

Help anyone?

 

E.g: When I try to save my Gary Invasion Mod it says this:

 

MASTERFILE: Unable to complete operation due to failiure removing previous file.

Plugin 'Data\Gary invasion - Hard.esp' may be locked or read only.

 

Temp file' Data\Gary invasion - Hard.tes' Contains saved data.

 

Context: DEFAULT

"Yes to all" will disable all Warnings for this context..blah blah blah...

 

Is the saved file in some Temp Folder in witch I cannot locate? Please help!

I could do that, or I could just move the Bathesda Softworks folder to a location outside the Program Files... witch what I did and all is well Now.

 

Cheers tho, any and all Help is Much Apreciated! (:

Its always recommend to install games and programms on a second partition with vista/win7,

this will save you a lot of trouble, not only with bethesda games. Also, it helps to make system backups

without having to save all those gigabytes of games and applications.

Thanks this helped me too -_- having the same problem >:| fixed now :) but it says missing .INI file but when its in program files it doesnt so i have to have 1 folder for making mods then another for playing them on. :\

I've just switched to Windows 7 from XP and am getting the same message as ZombieUK,

 

"MASTERFILE: Unable to complete operation due to failiure removing previous file.

Plugin 'Data\MYMOD - Hard.esp' may be locked or read only.

 

Temp file' Data\MYMOD - Hard.tes' Contains saved data.

 

Context: DEFAULT

"Yes to all" will disable all Warnings for this context."

 

Unfortunately the link in Branimirzg's post does not seem to work, would somone be kind and post me an idiots guide to what you did to fix it?

I'm sure others must also be experiencing the same maddening glitch!

 

Pretty please :)
