Good luck.

If the IT folks can't fix it, maybe they can suggest a workaround--a network
drive that you could use maybe???

This is a work PC and I am not in the admin. group and I think that this is
most of the
problem, I am signed in as a user only and there seem to be alot of
restictions. I will talk to the IT guy, what ever happened to trust? I
guess in some cases it is nessessary, but in this one I can do my job unless
I have some access. Wish me luck.
Thanks for all your help

Is this a work pc or is this a home pc?

If it's a work pc, you may want to talk to your IT group to find out if they put
restrictions on what users can do to "their" pcs.

If it's a home pc, it sounds like the user who is logged on doesn't have those
rights--can you log on as an administrator to see if that works?

That previous response was a guess.

Can you change the attributes of any file on your harddrive?

I get a msg: that an error has occured and "access denied" and it will not
change the attributes???
I don't know why

After you use windows explorer to copy the files from the CD to the harddrive,
you can select the files (as many as you want), rightclick on them and choose
properties.

You can remove the readonly attribute on the General tab.
