All settings refuse to save

#0 - Sept. 8, 2010, 4:32 a.m.

I xferred servers today and when trying to reset my addons to their previous state, I found them refusing to. I also found that my screenshots weren't saving. I deleted my WTF folder and the game won't recreate another, and I can't save my bindings or macros or anything, everything I do is reset the minute I log out.

I have a suspicion that this may be due to the fact that I copied my WoW folder from another HD (got robbed a month back, lost my computer but thankfully had a HD with copies of almost every single file on it). My beta client works fine and I installed it fresh on the computer. I'm thinking I'll have to re-install WoW, but I'd like to make sure it's necessary first.

Start the game again using the World of Warcraft Launcher, when starting the game right click on the game icon, and select Run As Administrator. This should ensure that any settings you change in game are saved correctly.

Q u o t e:
I was, but for some reason administrator access was set to "read only" on the folder (forgot to mention I'm on a Mac). >_< Changed it to "read and write" and now my WTF folder is back and everything's saving, thanks.

That is great news, Azp! Glad you were able to figure it out. :0)
