I think your computer is reading the files from the CD.  You can't change those files.  Copy your files to your hard drive, open Photodeluxe in that directory, then changes attributes and do whatever else you want to do.

I place the cd in the drive-goto my computer,-double click on the cd-rom icon and, load the files. So far so good. When I double click on any file, it opens up in Photodeluxe HE program. I right click on it and, click properties and I try to un-check the read only attribute. It tells me that I cannot change the attribute. When I try to save the file, it says "no". When I try to open the file, it tells me that I don't have permission to open it and, I must get permissiom from the administrator. It seems that all I can do is look at these files. Can't change-em, save-em, move-em or anything at this point. Sumpin wrong somewhere.  Any sugesstions?  Thanks  Ed Bogert
