jayfaim Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi everyone,I know this is a very common question, but I can't find any answers to this specific question.The first time i save a mod, i don't have any problems. When I want to edit that mod, i select it from the data menuand when i want to save, a message saying :« File is a master file or is in use. Please select another file to save to.»At first I though it was because of vista, so I reinstalled my game in another file than Program files. Even after that,the same message keep showing. Any idea of what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vyper Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Are you setting your mod as the Active file before loading it in the CS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtitan Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Are you running the CS as an Administrator? If you are not, that generally fixes many of the "generic misnomer" issues out there. Vista causes more issues, but at least you weren't too deep to reinstall somewhere other than program files! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Another thing to consider is whether or not you thoroughly cleaned all traces of your previous install from your registry (when it was located in C:\Program Files). The Oblivion uninstall won't clean up after itself ... you'll need something like CCleaner. Have a look through Bben46's Oblivion reinstall procedure and see if you can find anything you skipped that may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You more than likely have not followed the absolute correct uninstall/reinstall procedure as it is outlined by bben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
