Webparts, Personalization and the WindowsProvider

[Guest]

I'm trying to create a intranet site that uses webparts and Personalization
but based on the windows active directory login of the user not forms login.

i have the basic page working so that it displays the webparts OK, but when
a user tries to make a change to the webparts (using DesignDisplayMode) i get
an the error
"Failed to update database
"C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\TESTSITE\APP_DATA\ASPNETDB.MDF" because the database is
read-only."

why?

Check that the account ASP.Net is running as has the correct security
access to the database,

I've since rebuild the server to start from scratch. this time instead of
creating the site locally and then copying up to the server, i opened/create
the site directly on the server.
i also had to turn anonymous authentation off. i'm not sure if i did that
the first time. but it all seems to be working now.
