t123n5 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hi everybody I am VERY new to PC gaming. Ive been a long time console gamer , but this is the firswt time Ive actually tried PC gaming largely because i want to experience skyrim mods. Im trying to install the mod manager but i cant. I keep getting a popup that says "Unable to write permissions for:......" now I have no idea what to do. Keep in mind I am very new to computers so please excuse me if I sound ignorant and have some patience, someone please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtualMe Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'm assuming you have Windows 7 or 8. If you have installed Steam into the default Program Files, unfortunately User Account Control (UAC) will interfere. It is better to install Steam to a separate directory, or for space and convenience, to a separate disk drive. Either way, this will help keep UAC from mucking things up. It is not recommended to disable UAC - you can if you want to, but if you are new to PC then I'd keep it in place. There is also a method of installing Steam games to a separate folder away from the Program Files directory, but I'm not familiar with it. Google will help. You should follow advice here: http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Installation Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
