so after i format the memory cards and try and make a save game on crash bandicoot it saves the game but it says 0 progress and takes me back to the very start every time, it reconises the file, and saves it, but it doesnt save anything, iv tried moving the Psx2 folder to C drive, iv tried running as administrator but nothings working...

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

does it still happen if you use pcsx2 1.5? https://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/index.php

he cannot save his memmory card because he is at c:/users folder
windows blocks it

Uhm... They're in the Documents folder, so no it's not gonna be write locked by Windows, unless this person isn't User. But I don't even think that's the problem.

Checksum sector overwritten is a strong indicator that something is fundamentally wrong with the game. This most likely isn't a configuration issue, this simply means it is writing to a portion of the card it never should be able to. Only recommendation I can think of is, make a fresh card, set IOP to Interpreter, format it via the PS2 BIOS, not the game, and see if that works. If that fails, try a development build as others have recommended and repeat.
