Have you been launching as Admin? If that isn't working then the security descriptors may not be set properly for the files.
Go to the properties page of the character folder itself and verify that full control (read, write, etc.) is set for your user name, admin, and system on the security tab. Then click to open the advanced security properties and check the box to propagate those settings to all child objects and apply the changes. If there are any errors thrown you may have to tame ownership of the file.
If it is still misbehaving you can try opening a CMD prompt as admin and running "chkdsk c: /f". This will prompt you about running it on next reboot because it is locked. Answer to do it on reboot and the restart so it can scan the file system and attempt to correct things.
Edit:
