Did you do what the message says?

[Mcdoye]

i did not. i do not understand what it means when it says to move fnv from program files. and i dont want to disable my antivirus. either way my game is working fine now that ive made some adjustments, however i still get this message upon startup.

There are instructions available from Steam on how to move the game to another location on your harddrive. Until that is done or you uninstall most of your mod files, you will continue to get the message. The Windows User Access Control that is built into all Windows OS since Vista, prevents any changes to be made to any file installed in Program Files. So any mod that wants to make changes to the .ini will be prevented from making those changes. It is not an anti-virus setting but a feature of program files.
