game programming question?

I might not explain this very well but bear with me. Okay so I have this game Jurassic park - operation genesis. (i know, i'm a geek) for my PC and one of the cheats that i got of another website involves editing one of the data files. Now I've managed to do this okay with no probs on my old laptop (which was xp) but with vista it won't let me save the changes it just keeps saying 'make sure path and file name is correct' well, I don't really know what that means. any help would be appreciated! here is a link to the cheat so you can see what it says to do, i might not have explained it properly.

p.s Before you go giving me a lecture on using cheats, I am only doing it make the game last longer! the original version only lets you breed a certain amount of dinosaurs and I'm trying to change it.

Update:

realised i never actually posted the link doh!

    Your problem is most likely due to the enhanced security settings in Vista. If you have installed the game in C:\Program Files, then Vista isn't going to let you edit the files. One way around this is to copy the file to another location (e.g. the desktop), edit the file and copy it back to its original location (making sure it overwrites the file and doesn't make a copy).
