file error cant save settings

[Sonicblu]

I went to map controller and it wont save settings if I log out and log back in. i get file error message.

Also my throtle joystick and pedals dont work.

When i go to setting I can see the axis move when I move the control so it is reading my inputs, but when I try to launch from tower its full power and no control inputs.

Any help please.

Unable to open setting/login.cfg.

Sounds like its time for a fresh download. I think I remember something about anti-viruses changing the file attributes to read-only which means they can't be written to and so save the info.

I'd turn off the anti-virus, DL a fresh version of the game and reinstall it over the old one.

What Fugi sways above..... Also another possible quick fix is to right click on the settings folder and once the property's box opens uncheck the "read only" check box and click apply... It will then ask if you want to make the same changes to all other files and subfolders within the settings folder.... Click yes (or apply ) for this as well....

It should be good to go then... Anytime you backup / save current settings, one risks the chance of  the files being marked as "read only" when they go to reload them...

hope this helps

Not sure if you might know why, but, I've never turned off my anti-virus and I've never received errors like the OP discribes.   Is it just certain Anti-virus programs that cause the issue?  I've use Norton for as long as I've been playing AH, 12 years.

"technically" I couldn't say, but from being here for ever I've seen enough times were antivirus is a problem. Skuzzy could probably tell you why an antivirus program would mess up files.
