moonlightoverwater Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 On my previous computers, the first thing I did after loading Oblivion was to go to the "ini" file and change the line "bAllowScreenShots=0" to "bAllowScreenShots=1" so I could take screenshots. I'm an "administrator" of the computer, and allegedly have administrator privileges, and it lets me edit the line, but as I try to save the change, I get the error message "access denied". Grrr! Is this a fault in Windows System 7, or is there something I overlooked? Or is there a word processor I should download that does allow me to make changes to the ini file? Has anyone else had this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try that. Thanks so much! Moonlight on the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
