Once you have finished go to File then save. If it try's to save it as a new file then you need to go to properties then untick the box 'Read Only'[b/]

Once finished editing all your lines you will need to do the following:

Right click the 'Handling.dat' file.
Go to properties and size.
Check the size is 41,386KB NOT the size on disk.

If it isn't 41,386KB in Size you will also need to do the following.

Every [b]'Symbol, Character, Number, Letter, Key'
represents 1KB.

If your file is bigger than 41,386KB You need to count the difference between 41,386KB and the 'File Size' You have. Then Delete that amount of letters. Only delete the letters at the top and the ';' Semicolons can be deleted also.

If your file is smaller than 41,386KB You need to count the difference between the 41,386KB and the 'File Size' You have. Then add that amount of letters. Only add the letters at the top of the file.

Now once you have got it to :

Size:40.4 KB (41,386 bytes)
Size on Disk :44.0 KB (45,056 bytes)[b/].

Open up [b]'Open IV'
, Right click then replace and replace it with the one you just edited.
Go to file then rebuild, click yes and once it has completed, inject the common.rpf back into your ISO. Burn and Play.
