Alright, I'm pulling out hair now.

I low level formatted, reinstalled my XP Pro, and enabled IIS.  I placed the forum into the wwwroot folder, it displayed just fine, but when I tried to register I got this error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
/skin1/register.asp, line 791

Okay, so I obviously need to change it to a read/write permission so I did and the same error.  I then tried to view the default page and same error.

So I went into the IIS console, went to the directory, did the permissions wizard...nothing.  I went to the db itself and did the same...nothing.  So I clicked on the db, choose properties, choose read and write...nothing.

So then I went to the directory itself, changed the attribute, hit apply...nothing.  So I went back to check it again and the thing was set to read only again!!!!!

Am I missing something?  I should have valid permissions to be doing this as I am the "Computer Administrator".

Any ideas?

Did you open the db, go to File>Properties and check if it says read only?
