Problem with aircraft.cfg file

I am only a noob when it comes to repainting planes and I recently read up on it, but Im not sure how to get the liveries to show up on FS. I can repaint the textures ok, it's just when it comes to modifying the aircraft.cfg file; when I try to save the CFG file back into the aircraft folder it says "unable to create file, make sure folder and path are correct".

Hopefully you repaint experts out there can point me in the right direction?

Are you running Vista, and did you install FS under C:\Program Files?

You'll need administrator rights to modify that file.

Luke thanks for you advice, I actually saved the cfg file to my desktop, then copied it to the aircraft folder - seems to work.

Thanks again
