prihar11 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 So im trying to install some new textures, and I allready have an ArchiveInvalidation.txt file with the pathways(i dont know if thats what their called?) to a texture I allready installed in it. I know im supposed to just copy and paste the new pathways(?) into the ArchiveInvalidation file, but when I do and then try to save it, it just says "cannot save .txt file... Make sure that the path and file name are correct" And so I cant install any new texture mods. I would appreciate some advise. :confused: Also i dont know if it helps but I have Vista and I do have the texture .DDS files saved in what I think are the right place.

crimsonsteel Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 UAC messes around with OFFLINE files?!! i only turned it off for one of my online games i play because it always prompted me if it was allowed to access the internet, when it did that the game would terminate becos it couldnt get a connection <lol> jees, microsoft needs to tighten its belt and pull its pants up, cos if it keeps F#$ing around with ppl like this, im afraid to say it... a whole lot of ppl may go to mac <---apocalypse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
