java.io.FileNotFoundException: server.properties (Access is denied)

check your access

this is my computer. i'm running windows 8. but i dont understand what you mean by checking my access. i am the admin.

Your server can't access to the file server.properties, and it can't write crash log, something is blocking the server.

Verify that the file is not read-only, and eventually your antivirus

okay it is read-only. but every time i uncheck the read only button and apply it does not work and it resets itself to read only again! hate my computer.

 

EDIT: did some reasearch. the file and folder are NOT read only. checking antivirus but not exactly ure what to do when i get there.
