A: This is usually caused by the fact that you are
running the emulation software as a user who does not have write
access to the files.
This behavior is normal when running the software from a
read-only medium, such as a CD or DVD.
If you are running versions 1.0 to 6.0 of the Amiga Forever
software on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003 and the
emulation files were installed inside the "Program Files"
directory, and you are not operating the system as a user with
administrator privileges, make sure that you have write access
to the following directories:
- "Cloanto/Amiga Forever/Emulation/shared"
- "Cloanto/Amiga Forever/Emulation/WinUAE"
- "Cloanto/Amiga Forever/Emulation/WinFellow"
Or, more simply, you can ensure that you have write access to
the entire "Amiga Forever" directory. Just right-click the
directory, and in the security properties verify that write
access is enabled for it for your user. You have to be logged on
as a user with administrative privileges in order to change this
setting.
Amiga Forever 2005 and newer versions take care of the above
by storing data files that require write access in a dedicated "Amiga Files" folder.
