My Father-in-Law is using Roxio Easy Creator 8.X SE that he had gotten with his sony r/w dvd rom. For awhile we could not get his read write to keep from becoming read only. Good news, we figured out that problem, Bad News, a new problem has arisen. it will allow him to put file on and take files off of the dvd-rw, but now his files are now becoming read-only, and it will not let him save it under the original file. i have looked into the properties, and tried unchecking the archive box and that does work.

I have gone through the entire program and help files and still nothing. I have gone to other tech sites and they all pretty much say the same thing, " use a jump/flash drive". My father-in-Law does not want to use a jumpdrive so i am here looking for some information. Could it be a setting that i have somehow over looked?

does anyone have any insight to this problem?

Thanks in advance

I don't quite understand what you are asking or where the problems is? Files on a RW disc are always read only since they can never be overwritten.
Of course if you are using something called Drag-to-disc all bets are off. That program no longer is no longer available on newer Roxio versions and is not recommended at all for storage.

See if this post clarifies things:
