HELP NEEDED! (Again!?!) Error writing config file

Post by Manish_max »

When I change the settings (Enabling Fullscreen), YSFlight says that it has an error writing the config file. And when I click on the "Don't show this message again"checkbox before flying, YSFlight says that it has an error writing the options file. These have never happened in my 5 years of YSFlight. Please help. :?

Is your user account an administrator? If not, try running YS as administrator. It's trying to write to My Documents/YSFLIGHT.COM/YSFLIGHT/config

Yes, it's an administrator. And YSFlight hasn't created a folder in My Documents either. And I have tried to run YSF as an administrator. :?

I have also deleted all the files and reinstalled it again. It doesn't solve it.

Is it possible if somebody shares their YSFLIGHT documents folder and I paste it in my documents? (2015 version)

If it's not an administrator permissions thing, I don't know what would be preventing it writing files. What operating system are you using?

Here's the folders/files for 2015
