"Unable to save configuration" error message.

Question

Using EasyIAP V1.1F with an SST chip. Program detects chip and loads the bootstrap. After the main program has been loaded via USB, we re-detect the chip to set a password. Usually, unless the program has been shut down, the chip ID and baud selections do not need to be reset between programming devices. Now, I get the error message after the main program is in when I try to re-detect for the password. I can click past it, and eventually detect the chip, but I would like to get back to where the chip and baud are saved between operations.

Answer 1

It appears this is a case where the software doesn't have permissions to save the settings. This can be fixed by running the software as Administrator. I know it might sound impossible, but actually this happens a lot of times for various applications.

For example, if you install Winamp and change its settings, then launch it again without Run as Administrator, you will see the default window after it's installed.
