[klawsraught]

can someone please help me? thanks much

maybe your zone folders are READ ONLY or you DONT HAVE THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS THEM.

why not ask on forumhq.net?

[klawsraught]

i wasnt aware of that possibility..

however the files arent on read only

[klawsraught]

ok.. perhaps i was wrong

ive tried to take off "read only" but everytime i do so..

it resets back to read only.. what can i do?

[EdTheInvincible]

try erasing the zone folder then downloading again

[klawsraught]

one other thing.. my entire folder is stuck on read only..

if your seeing a box and not a tick in the read-only box, under windows xp i assume? thats normal, just trying to confuse you, its a global permissions thing.

 

i've had this issue in the past.., like Ed has suggested, try remove the contents of at least the Powerball folder and re-entering

If you cant delete the folder. reboot your pc into safe mode. Then try to delete it after doing so just reboot that will put you back into normal mode.

That is not the solution to the problem at all, it even might increase the problem.

 

At least make sure you have administrator privilidges, try removing the read-only attribute. Also, make sure you don't run the game with "Run As..." option. (Gives this same problem)

 

Other solutions might be scandisking the HD for corrupt sections.

i had similar problem with logfiles. Turned out that i didn't (for some reason) have access to write to the \logs directory.

 

you might want to look over your file-permissions.
