Kim Ingram, I am not yet sure of your camera but many of them include a feature to write protect some or even all of the image on the card. Is it possible that this feature was somehow enabled? Also if you're using a card reader to transfer/view the files on the computer it is possible that perhaps while viewing the card as a "mass storage device" that somehow the properties were set to write protected.

Kim Ingram, I am not yet sure of your camera but many of them include a feature to write protect some or even all of the image on the card. Is it possible that this feature was somehow enabled? Also if you're using a card reader to transfer/view the files on the computer it is possible that perhaps while viewing the card as a "mass storage device" that somehow the properties were set to write protected. Okay I just checked the manual and it says for possible cause " Writing to the card is prohibited" and the corrective action " The recorded image hast been protected (read only) on a computer Download the image to a computer and cancel the read only setting" Check your manual, page 57. The procedure to protect and unprotect is described on page 32 and 33. Take a look at the picture it says on or off for protecting the image. Of course not sure if you and I have the same manual. Try to download it from [http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/Stylus_1020_Mju_1020_Stylus_1010_Mju_1010_Instruction_Manual_EN.pdf|here] Good Luck to you and hope it works out.
