If it is an issue with permissions, follow these steps to reset permissions:
1. Right click the ‘etc’ folder, go to “Properties> Security> Advanced> Owner” and change the “Owner” to the current user account (to check the username, click ‘Start’ and look for the name at the top of the start menu).
2. Then, get back to the ‘Security’ tab in ‘Properties’ and check the box under ‘Allow’ next to ‘Full Control’ for all the users listed under ‘Group or user name’.
3. Click ‘Add’, type ‘everyone’ in the box and click ‘Check Names’. Click OK.
