Modifying Oblivion_default on Windows 7

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 8:55 pm

I just installed Oblivion on my new laptop which is running windows 7, and are currently trying to modify the oblivion_default file to allow screenshots etc.

For some reason, I cant save any changes made to the file, I get an "access denied" message every time I try.

My guess is it's something to do with the stupid administrator issues in windows 7 but since I'm new to it, I can't figure out what to do. There's no option to "Run as administrator" for a text file :/

Any idea what might fix it?

thanks.

The _default file is there to recover the ini from if you screw it up. You're not supposed to change that one anyway I believe.

Edit the ini found in My Documents/My Games/Oblivion instead.
