Have you copied the files to a folder on the Hard Drive. If so Highlight all the files and right mouse click. Select Properties and clear the Read only check box.

If you can't copy the photos to your hard drive, place the card back in the camera and peruse the settings until you find that one that will remove write protection. If you have the camera manual, it may be quicker to cruise the manual for the correct option.

What's wrong with 'browse' (or in my favourite ethnic locale) 'take a gander'...?

Posh? Not a word that's ever been used before to describe me (and don't ask what has as I surely won't divulge)!
