"Failed to write settings"??

[Gutmaw]

So I've used MO for a long time and never had this issue before.  I just did a clean Skyrim/MO install on a new SSD...a different drive than my OS.  I can open and use MO fine, but when I use Creation Kit or Loot I get the following message box either before it opens, or after when I try to log out of MO...

 

"MO Failed to write settings

An error occured trying to write back MO settings: File is write protected"

 

I can't see any pattern to this popping up before the program or on exit, and I can't tell what this is affecting or what it means??

 

Here are my files...

F:\Games\MOd Organizer\ModOrganizer.exe

F:\Games\Skyrim Tools\LOOT\LOOT.exe

F:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\CreationKit.exe

F:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\SKSELoader.exe

 

I have set properties/security/permissions to full control for all of these folders.

 

 

What am I missing?

 

Thanks!!

Thanks for the fast response!  

 

OK...think i got it.  I had to right click on my f:\Games folder, properties, then at the bottom had to uncheck the Read Only box.  Never had to do that before...hope it doesn't screw anything up?!

The file for the settings is read-only. You need to change that. I'm guessing it's some type of INI, so look at those first.
