Program hangs on new project create

I think that I have found the solution to the problem -- If I work on a bsf file without doing a project I had no problems until saving the file. I did some checking it seems that all the files are read-only and users can not write to any of the folders. When I changed the permissions I could now save the file and quartus asked if I wanted to create a new project which it did. Now things seem to be working ok. I have never had quartus do this before in all the years that I have used it.
