I downloaded Sony Vegas Movie Studio and clicked the installer as I would normally do with any program I would download and a window comes up telling me that my Temp folder (CDocuments and Settings/"name"/Local Settings/Temp) is write protected. I can't do anything >.< I right clicked the Temp folder and unchecked 'Read Only' and applied it, right clicked it again, went back to properties to see if it worked and the box is rechecked again. I'm stumped. Help would be great :x

Does your user account have administrator rights?

Check the security on the file to see what users have rights to it.

I can't see any security things on the file or the folder itself. And there is only one user when I log in to Windows and it's me.

Temp folders have special access rights (for security etc), try moving the file somewhere else before opening it.
