Sorry for the long post, I've tried everything for this issue. I tried asking on other forums and nobody could really help me cause it's an 8.1 thing. It's taken me a long time to figure all this out so I'm slightly discouraged....
Ever since I upgraded from Windows 7 to 8.1, I've had a problem with this game I play. Whenever the game itself starts or I try to save/load from within the game, I get a message saying "Failed to Open File. It may have read-only settings, lack permission support, or not enough space on the hard drive." The game actually runs fine, but this message constantly pops up.
The game is on drive D and the save files by default are saved to drive C. I found if I delete the C folder, I can start the game normally, and it just creates a new, blank C folder without my saves. But when I move my saves back over, it happens again. So it has to be a security issue that 8.1 isn't getting along with the 7 files specifically.
I have plenty of space on the HDD so I KNOW it's a security issue. And I've tried just about everything. Including everything from
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorial...low-deny-access-users-groups-windows-8-a.html
and
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/63741-read-only-file-folder-attribute.html -Several but not all of these
If I try to deselect the Read Only option in Properties, it reverts back as soon as I close the window. I've done everything I can in the Properties/Security settings, changing both access and permissions to several accounts.
So that about sums up where I am. ANY help is appreciated! Save me Windows forums, you're my only hope...
