I used to mine bitcoins a while back, but recently decided to start again with litecoin.
Guiminer and litecoin-qt.exe for some reason will not read the litecoin.conf file.
Keeps telling me over and over that it needs to be read-only and i can't think what basic simple thing I'm missing...
Any ideas?

Are you sure it is not litecoin.conf.txt?

I'm using the newest scrypt version already, so that can't be it.
I will check that file properties again...

No the file properties says its a .conf file so that part worked, its set as read only.
Do I have to move the litecoin client to the data folder %appdata% roaming\litecoin
