I had this (or a similar Adobe program, or programs) that came with
older scanners. I had problems with it /them... I think it was HE 3,
and I'm having trouble getting it to work on XP. (I gave up in March.)

Is it "supposed to" work in the OS you are using, and was that
"originally" or after compatibility patching?...)

I would take the CD and copy some test files to the Hard Drive.
On the HD, remove the read-only attribute(s) and rename the file
to something like test-1, test-2, etc. And re-open them (or import them?)
into the program.
See what happens then. If you can't use the files, they might be corrupted,
(unlikely unless you are having other problems with your burner), or
the program may not like its files being moved around from where "IT"
put them originally...

You might be able to use a floppy (and write protect it separately)
to do testing and playing around.

I did not understand from your original question about what program or
"system service" was writing these CDs, and if they were CD-Rs, CD-RW
and what file system they were burned in. CDFS or UDF.

Let the list know how you make out.

> I asked about this problem and received several answers but to no avail.  I have 130 photo files copied to a cd-rom. They are in
the photodeluxe format PDD. 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
