HI I am still getting error that some files are read only, I do not know why, I have had this come up on 2 pc's 1 with win xpsp3 and the second with win 8.

I haven't read the entire thread, but often read-only is an artefact of downloading a ZIP from the internet and it getting a read-only tag. That might be as simple as checking file properties (right click file, un-set read-only).

But the other thing I want to make sure I say - friends don't let friends use XP. Security updates are no longer released for it, it really is a ticking timebomb. Please, don't use it on the internet, and upgrade it if at all possible.
