Hi @mindchasers

Do you save the project in a project directory ? And not using the installation directory (C drive).

The program (Quartus/Modelsim) will need to Run As Administration to edit the any files located in C drive.

Thank you for the reply.

The "sim" folder is OUTSIDE the C:\intelFPGA_pro installation folder.

As an authenticated user, I have full control over my "sim" folder.

Also, I have verified the *.mpf file is NOT set for read only.
