[Dropped] Can't access any files

Post by ocdj1123 »

you don't have permission to open this file
Is that the full text of the error message?

Are all the files you are trying to open in the same location? What is that location exactly? Does this happen with absolutely every file? Try creating and saving a simple text file with Notepad. Try to open it with Writer and see what happens.
