| Guest | Can't save modifed HOSTS file I am trying to add a line to the HOSTS file in /Window/System32/drivers/etc directory (Per HP instructions on a scanner communication problem) and vista won't let me save the changes (using Notepad). Keeps telling me can't create the file be sure directory and location are correct. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? -- Using Vista Home Premium on a tablet PC Thanks, |
