OK, so you don't know why it won't let me replace the hosts file.
Hold off on the video. This is all just to find a driver I can almost assure will not exist or not help. All the time to make a video, etc., doesn't seem worth it fora long shot anyway. I was hoping you would tell me one little tweak and it would get done. On Mac, I do it with line commands to take a copy of the hosts file to the desktop, edit it there, then some line commands to replaced the real hosts file with the edited one. The line command gets around this kind of issue, it overwrites the file. But other people on Mac do it other ways.
I could take the hard drive to my Mac, plug it in externally and change the files at will. But the hosts file is special, needs to be put in properly, and I doubt that would work. And you won't even be able to boot the machine with it be in in there properly,s o I could lose everything. Can't try that.
Let's sleep on it. I can be in touch tomorrow morning.
You never explained, have I taken possession of it simply by doing that registry edit, or now that I did that, is there something else I have to do?
Yes, English.
