Re-installing will likely do nothing to fix your problem.

You need to make sure you have Admin control over Morrowind, and Compatibilities for the folders.

You're likely on Vista or Windows7, right?
Be sure to move your http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/781497-vistawindows-7-problems/page__p__11352753&#entry11352753. That's usually the easiest fix for Vista/W7 problems.

basically i believe the problem is this, i created the file on my friends computer 5 days agao and have been editing it and saving it for those 5 days on that computer ... i put the .ESP file on my flash drive worked put it on my computer worked ... i can play what i have so far & i can load it up and edit what ever i want ... but i cant save i keep getting that dialouge .... hopefully i can get an A2mQ

ok .. moved is good if it solves my problem ... but its to late already did ... ANSWER: if you get that nasty message ... unload your plugin and select only the master (i took my .ESP file out of the data folder),
and make a new one named poop .. (all i thought of) .. NOW unload that one and reload yourown! ... all done ... HOORAY BEER!
