importing a spray and vista

[Retribution]

everytime i try to import a spray for TF2 i keep getting a mesage saying i do not have permission, is there anyway to fix or get around this?

[larz]

um does your windows user account have full admin rights?

If not, then make it so. That might help

In Windows Vista (when UAC is turned on), Administrators don't get administrator access when running programs. By default, they only have one normal user token. A program has to ask for the administrator access before being allowed to do administrative things. This could be your issue.

so how can i do that?

The simplest way is to turn UAC off. The other way is to give your user or the users group write permission to the steam folder or the specific folder it's trying to write to.

Or you could do it right and make the spray manually. Importing sprays through steam makes it lame and square, takes out transparencies and adds dithering.
