Weird Problem... Can Anyone Help? - GoFuckYourself.com

A few days ago, I bought my girlfriend a computer so she can mess around with her pictures and update her own website. We're using Compu Pic Pro for editing, resizing, etc...

Now... the problem we're having is that when she tries to overwrite the file, it's not doing it. I thought it had something to do with the file permissons but I'm not sure.

Basically... I've been uploading the photos to my computer, burning them on a disc and then giving them to her to mess with (she copies them from the disc to her computer).

Is it a file permissions thing on Windows... and if so, any ideas as to how to change them? Everything works perfectly on my computer so I'm kinda baffled.

Thanks in advance.

un-check read-only in the file\folder properties

Unchecking the "Read Only" was one of the first things I tried to do, but it still didn't work.

Quick Update...

When I drag the folder to my c drive (suggested by a friend) and try to resize them with compupic, it works. So, does that mean that her desktop has some sort of file properties lock on somewhere?

Is it possible she is editing them from the cd, then when saving it it tries to save to the cd? Or, she is dragging them from the cd to the harddrive, and trying to save them to the cd? Also, you mentioned desktop....I have tried saving and launching certain filetypes from my desktop and it doesn't work. If I create a folder on my desktop and drag the movies into it, they would work. Might want to try that.

Basically, I dragged the folder from my cd to my desktop and then try to edit them.

What's odd is that if I take that same folder and then drag it to my c drive and try to edit, it works fine.

Does it let her save other files on the pc? What OS? Is she logged in on the PC as a user with permissions to overwrite or save files?
