GPL: A very bizarre problem

Quite simply stated, I can't change teams. I switched to the Cooper to do some setup experimenting and now I can't change back to anything else. The Team Information screen appears to function just fine. I can use the forward/back arrows to change to a different team and hit the green button just fine. But if I go into practice, a new race, or back into the Team Information screen, I've been put back into the Cooper. Very wierd! Other than an upgraded mip for driver faces (which I've been running for a long time), I'm not running any add-on's. I haven't changed anything in GPL or my system either. This behavior just started happening. I'm thinking that maybe a file somewhere accidently got flagged read-ony, but I wouldn't know what to look for. Anyone have any ideas?

Found it. For some bizarre reason, my player.ini was marked read-only. Oh, and I meant "player information" screen not the "team information" screen.
