I had this happen on Vista. Make sure you select Run as Administrator for you editor (notepad, etc..) and that will fix it.

Better yet, move the entire EQ folder outside of Program Files. Try something like C:\EQ. You'll save yourself many potential headaches by avoiding having to deal with file virtualization and permissions.

I think the FAQ in my sig also has some suggestions. A simple one is to copy the file to your desktop, edit it there, then delete the one in your EQ folder and move the one from your desktop back to the EQ folder and that should do it.
