125915 2003-03-06 04:24:00 i have acquired a new computer with this device and use operating system Win Me. It comes with Easy Creator CD and I need to know how to use this to write and retrieve files from CD's.
I intend to set up files on CD"s and I can copy to this system but have trouble opening the files from the CD. My system comes up with a signal that I do not have permission to access these files.
How do I get around this problem to retrieve these files?
I use an HP system with SDRAM and 30.0GB hard drive and Windows 2000 Word, Excel etc.

Regards
Franci

The files are given the read-only attribute on the CD. They inherit that when they are copied to HD, too. If you rightclick on a file, then in the Properties page, you can change the Read Only tick.
