Vista - It ruined my pictures!

Hello my name is Riviera and I really need help right now.

I just uploaded pictures from my digital camera to the computer and now it wont let me modify them. I am panicing! It deleted them off my camera and now I can't upload them anywhere or even modify them. I'm losing my son's memories.

This is the only time I didn't "Name" them when uploading because it said it was optional. Any other Windows I have had would just automaticly name them for me and no problem.

Now I can't modify and save. It tells me:

Changes to this picture have not been saved. The file may be read-only or you might not have permission to save to the pictures location.

They are not read only. I went into the properties and checked.

This is so horrible. I have never had to deal with this. I even took a mock picture and named it when I imported it and I can do what ever I want to that picture including save modifications. Please help! I can't lose these memories.

Thanks for reading.

Hello Rivierar, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Will it let you copy them to another location (ex: Desktop), then modify them from there instead?

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Oh thank you! You are brilliant! It will be a pain in the butt to do them all but it works and I can upload them as well. Thank you again so much!

You're most welcome.

I'm happy to hear that will work for you. You can use this below to help make it easier to select all of them and copy or move them to another location.

Context Menu - Add COPY TO FOLDER and MOVE TO FOLDER
