admin login trouble

Hi

Downloaded the forum and installed it (eb-c.org/forum). On my first attempt at logging in as the admin (Administrator/letmein) I got an error message (/forum/login_user.asp, line 171). Several times.

I reuploaded the files. Made sure I was OK for cookies. Same result.

I saw a posting here that suggested logging in to /admin. Success! BUT then I got an error message (/forum/common.asp, line 447) when I clicked on Return to the Main Forum.

Couldn't get to the main forum unless I closed all the browsers.

Any suggestions?

--E

ok, the error from logging in as admin at eb-c.org/forum is:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e09'

Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.

/forum/login_user.asp, line 171

Thanks, I went here

I can't seem to effect this change -- can't find that pop-up.

Can I do it in my ftp program (WSFtp)?

Is this happening possibly b/c I'm on WindowsME? When I right click on a folder and select 'Properties' I don't have a 'Security' tab.
