Hey so I was trying to update a program the other day, when I tried to unzip the file, it told me it couldnt create the new file, and that the disk might be write-protected. (It was my Hard Drive).

So I went to the folder and noticed it was selected as being "Read-only". I deselected this, applied the changes, and it still wouldnt work. It seems to keep checking off the "read only" box, even after I've made the changes.

Anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Yo Jig I've seen this before.. I had a program at work that didn't want to keep it's read only box unchecked. Moved it to a new partition on the HD and it worked fine. If you don't have another partition, like a drive D: for example, try using it in a directory you make yourself. XP must keep some directories under tight control.

Make sure you uncheck read only for the programs files you are trying to update too. Good luck.
