I was hoping this wasn't going to happen, but it did. When Drake initially sent me the synthfont he gave me it as a .dls file and told me to replace gm.dls with it. So I found a folder with gm.dls in it, pulled out a copy of the original before deleting it, then tried to put in the soundfont he'd given me.
Except apparently this folder allows me to delete files,
but not put them back in.I managed to get around this for a while, but now it's come back to bite me in the ass. Synthfont refuses to start up, and even when I reinstall it it tells me 'Synthfont cannot create a required file and cannot continue!'. I've looked up some advice online and received the helpful line of info after trying every solution mentioned:
14. On some files that are essential to Windows, you’ll get a “Unable to save permission changes… access is denied” warning and there’s nothing that you can do about it to the best of my knowledge.
IF IT'S SO FREAKING VALUABLE, WHY THE HELL DID YOU LET ME TAKE IT OUT OF THE FOLDER AND NOT PUT IT BACK IN!?So yeah. I can still make MIDIs, I'm relatively sure, but I'll pretty much have to leave the proper editing to Drake.
(Conveniently, step 15 is 'Consider again why exactly you're using Windows'. I'd switch to Linux right now if it didn't scare the shit out of me. -_-)
EDIT: AND NOW ANVIL STUDIO ISN'T OPENING EITHER
SERIOUSLY FUCK THIS COMPUTER
EDIT2: Okay, Anvil's working now. But why the hell did it take me three attempts and 2 End-Processes to do it? T_T
