Please note that Microsoft's new operating system (Vista), makes some security related changes that affect the use of the TES Construction Set. Specifically, any file that is located under the "C:\Program Files" directory is protected from being changed. If you have installed your Elder Scrolls game into the default directory, it will be affected by these security changes. The following is a list of how this affects the construction set and .ESP files: | Please note that Microsoft's new operating system (Vista), makes some security related changes that affect the use of the TES Construction Set.

===Solution to the Vista Problems=== | |||
If you install your Elder Scrolls game into any directory OTHER than the default, none of these problems occur. Thus, you can bypass the Vista security issues by installing the game onto another hard drive or into a new directory that is not located withing the "Program Files" root directory (such as "C:\Games"). | If you install your Elder Scrolls game into any directory OTHER than the default, none of these problems occur.

Another way to fix it is to right-click the ".exe" file and click properties, then check "Run as administrator". Then click OK. Do this for both the "oblivion.exe" and "TESConstructionSet.exe", and any programs you are using that copies files to protected directories (such as WinRAR, 7z, or WinZip). | Another way to fix it is to right-click the ".exe" file and click properties, then check "Run as administrator".

Edit by Cyberviper1: I have not had any of these problems with Vista, which I think is because I allowed myself full access to edit any folder on my computer and gave myself all access | Edit by Cyberviper1: I have not had any of these problems with Vista, which I think is because I allowed myself full access to edit any folder on my computer and gave myself all access rights. Vista comes so that even as an administrator you don't have complete access privileges and need to set them up manually. I forget exactly how I did it but I think you need to right click on the folder you want rights to, then go to properties and then security tab. From here you can set security rights for different users on the computer. It takes a while to figure out and get it so that it sticks, but then you'll never have any problems removing, creating, or renaming any files in Vista. (Also, you may want to create another user account with 'full rights' in case you make a mistake and need someone with 'full rights' to fix it...happened to me.) | ||
