    Read only problems
    « on: July 03, 2013, 05:02:36 PM »
    Hey, I've been having huge issues for at least 4 days now with the read only feature, Spent way over 24 man hours trying to sort it out just to play a game. Problem is I can't untick it from a game and I can't play the game till I have done so.

    Firstly I went through everything I could think of personally to fix the issue and it had no effect, So I ended up reformating my computer and then reinstalling it, Had no effect so I done it again ^^ yet again had no effect.

    So I researched into it and done basically everything suggested of me. stuff like command promt with commands like ( attrib -r +s "C:\Documents and Settings\Worsbeef\My Documents\Downloads\Wow") Which should be the exact command had no effect.

    I then got recommended to take ownership of it which I have done so through secruity etc etc but yet again its having 0 effect, I'm completely out of ideas and seriously loosing the will, 24 hours+ just to remove a read only check is getting silly.

    My version of windows xp is; Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3.

    I appriciate the help and advice.

        A trusted private server, It never had a problem for like a year from when I was playing it before hand, all of a sudden I got heavy fps issues in game, Came out and it was marked read only ^^ ever since I haven't been able to reopen it and went through everything I previously stated.
