""and get a 'attribute' window shows going in and assume changing all the files and then re-open the folder and it is set back to read only... ""
i went in and all top folders are set to this filled in box and everything else is working fine. i don't know what this means, but i don't 'think'(?) this is the problem. on the win7 computer, they are set to the grey check mark. but don't understand what that means.
