get those errors when trying to edit settings...

this means i can not edit any settings at all... lucky the games still run fine, well the ones i have tried anyway.
Not a bug. Install PCSX2 to a folder you have rights, for example, C:/PCSX2.
i should have rights to my own documents...
Indeed, sorry, blame Microsoft...
its probably the emulators execution and write permissions... particularly, the Authenticated users group might be missing.....

this would prevent it from having write permission to the user profile.
I think I understand Squall... The Emulator itself acts as a user and does not have the permission?

I installed this using the web installer and it installed all in default. I re downloaded it as a zip file and put it in a folder and now it works fine...
