I just bought a new computer with Windows Vista and then downloaded the Munich '73 torrent from Dime.When I try to decode the FLAC files into WAV files,I get the following error message :

Runtime Error '75'
Path/File access error

This never happened to me on my old Windows XP computer.What do I do to fix this problem without uninstalling Vista and installing XP?

A google search comes up with this:

Runtime Error '75'
Path/File access error

Program does not have rights or access to a file.
Often this is caused when a program is trying to access a network file it doesn't have proper access to
either because of network privileges or something is blocking the program.
This issue can also be caused when the file is being used by another program or is read-only.

It looks like the file is read only.Is there a way to change that?

I figured out the solution.It seems that Windows Vista sets folders and their contents as read only.You just have to run the program (in this case Flac Frontend) that you want to use to edit the files within the folder as the administrator.

To make a long story short,right click on the Flac Frontend program shortcut and then select the " run as administrator " option.After that you can decode the Flac files into WAV files.

Thank you for the information,by the way.
