Hello friends I have installed windows live essentials 2011 in my computer and I am facing problem with windows live photo gallery. Whenever I try to edit photo from windows live photo gallery at that time it gives "Read Only file and Windows Live Photo Gallery cannot edit it." message. What should I do to solve this problem?
I have read your problem and I would like to tell you that you should first check which compatibility mode is selected for windows Live Photo Gallery? You have to make sure that most recent mode is selected for the windows live photo gallery and then your problem might get solved.
To change windows live photo gallery compatibility mode you have to open start menu and then click on all programs and then you have to right click on windows live photo gallery and select properties. After clicking on properties you have to select compatibility tab and then you have to change the compatibility to most recent mode and then you have to click on OK. After doing that you have to check whether you are experiencing the same problem or not.
I have changed the windows live photo gallery compatibility and after doing that also I was experiencing the same problem. Now after that I have also tried to solve this problem searching solution on internet but I did not get any solution on internet. Now please tell me what should I do to solve this problem?
You have mentioned that you are facing same problem after trying above solution also and that is why I would like to tell you that you should take the ownership of the folder where you have saved the photos and after that you have to check whether you are getting same problem or not.
If you want to take the ownership of the folder then you have to follow these steps.
- First locate the folder where you have saved files.
- Right click on that folder select properties.
- After that click on advance from security tab.
- Select owner tab.
- After that click on edit button and select user.
- Now change the owner and then click on Ok
