Solution [Direct Copy & Paste – Contributed by kluelos ] Something has either opened the settings file or changed its properties. The file is “bitcomet.xml” and it’s located in your program directory, nominally c:\Program Files\BitComet Find the file, right-click on it and check the properties. If Read-Only is checked, uncheck it and try again. That should solve it. If it still doesn’t work, something is holding the file open, and you’ll need to find out what, and why. The “why” is very important because it shouldn’t be happening. Get a free tool named “Unlocker” and use it to find out what’s latched on to the file, and determine if you can safely unlock it or kill that process.
