My computer won't let me make screenshots! :( Grrr!


Recommended Posts

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?

Your problem is Windows 7 security. You need to install Oblivion in some directory other than under c:\Program Files - many of us use c:\games\oblivion.

Cool! I'll try that. Thanks so much!
