Does anybody know how to stop this message displaying on the website?

I would ask your host to do it for you then. It is possible to change the permission on Windows servers ... (although I wouldn't use a Windows server if at all possible.)

I want to find out how oscmax works and installed it under WIN 7 with XAMPP and have the same problem. For a friend I will have to install it under WIN XP and expect, to have the same problem.
Thank you very much.

So install it on a free Linux webhost in minutes - thus negating the need for some server/basic OS knowledge.

Oh boy, this is gonna be fun for you guys. Can't wait for the questions to come pouring in !

It is so easy to change permissions in windows you are going to kick yourself:

Right click the configure.php file in explorer. Click "Properties" and check the read only check-box. Done.

Thank you the write protection worked. Very simple! I tried to solve the problem via the security options of the property panel … Sorry for my stupid question but if I start something wrong headed it is sometimes not easy for me to find the proper way out.
