Sounds like a folder permissions problem? Do you have permission to access the folder? (Sorry, I'm not Mac literate)

So what is the problem? Are you the administrator of your PC?
Since I am the only user on my PC, and I am the administrator,
I have no problems modifying anything within Celestia.

Vista is strange though... You might have to copy your CFG file
to another temporary folder, modify it, and then copy it back
to it's location in the Celestia directory.

Sorry, but that's the best I can do without a better explanation of
what your problem is.

I am not an administrator, I am client. Before a year ago, the modifying worked well as celestia 1.4.1. But recently, it does not work then.
