419276 2006-01-08 09:09:00 Hi, I am using Home Publishing 2000 and have burnt some projects to CD. When I try to open them (on a different computer running XP Home with Home Publishing 2000) they will not open and I get a message 'this file is read only - use a different file name'. But because it's read only, you can't change the file name, and what would you change it to antway? What do I do to access the file?
I can open the files on the original computer (ME) and I can create, save and open php files on the new computer. But can't open the files from the CD on the new computer. I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling home publishing on the new one, I guess that's the next step unless someone has had this problem and knows the fix?

Many thanks,
Graham.
