Crash2

I got it to work . Wasn't able to get permission for the whole SimCity folder just the data_1. Wealthy sims are traveling to HT.

Sorry about being so long to reply, sometimes life gets in the way. I have a Vista operating system, home desktop with an administrators account (doesn't mean much in Vista). I agree it is my computer and should be able to do what I want. Vistas file protrection has been one of the issues I have struggled with since 2007. Some files aren't a problem others are much tougher. I have spent so much time searching the internet and trying different things I decided to ask for work arounds. The tutorial is clear and easy to understand its the file permissions that caught me by surprise though and have given so much trouble. Since teenage grandchildren use the computer I have been hesitant to turn off UAC and dont think it would help that much probably just open the door to a flood of other problems. The other work around might be to try to take ownership of the data1 file only may try that and see if it will be allowed or cause the program to be unstable. Thank you for the prompt replies. One other question is there a spellcheck I can spell but my typing is terrible.

Tried to apply this fix and ran into problems with my Windows operating system user account controls. It would allow a copy of data file to be moved to My Documents but would not allow me to move it back to the original folder. I believe the copy was somehow corrupted by the system when it was copied. Spent hours trying various work arounds to move the good data1 file back. End result had to reinstall SimCity 4. My operating system is old, protective and cranky. Are there any other mods that apply this fix without changing too much else? What happens if I dont use IHT in my cities?
