I was wondering if anyone had an idea why when I installed the patch from 1.0.0
to 1.0.2 and put in my new driver info it comes up with an error that it can
not write to the driver file????
any info would be greatly appreciated.
thx. Mike Blasco

For some unknown reason the patch copies and creates certain files and
sets or leaves the attributes to Read-Only.  You need to change all of
the files in you CARS directories so that the Read Only attribute is
turned off.

Hi Mike,

The v1.02 patch did a few goofy things besides fix a few flaws,
one of the problems with this patch was that it caused nearly
all the files to be "read-only"...All that's needed is for you to
change the file's attributes.

Best Regards,

Marc
