@Daniel Robinson
I think you are having trouble due to NTFS access permissions.
If the program is running, right click the icon in the tray and close the program with "Exit". Then run the program after copying it to the desktop and try again.
Could you please test it on different Pc ?
No, even running as administrator, same problem recurs "can’t write to file"
@Daniel Robinson
You may not have write permissions to the ReduceMemory.ini file. Try again by closing the program and running it as administrator.
@ Daniel : What is your Operating System ? did you first Unzipped it ?
@ Andy : Thanks
When trying to apply options I get a "can’t write to file" Can anybody help with this? Thanks…
