Read-only Aggravation
Read-only Aggravation
I must have made a foolish error. Every document I make comes out as a "Read-Only" document. Thus, no additions or subtractions. If "Read-Only" is somehow a default, how do I get rid of it? Yes, I've tried (or think I've tried) all the solutions, There must be an easy one from you helpful savants. Thanks
The most likely culprit is your antivirus or “security suite” trying to be “helpful” and blocking Atlantis as malware or ransomware. Try registering Atlantis (i.e. its executable “awp.exe”) as a safe application with your security/antivirus application.
For example, if you are using the AVAST antivirus, you need to register “awp.exe” as an “allowed app” with AVAST. Otherwise, “awp.exe” will be considered as ransomware by AVAST. You might want to take a look at the following pages:

“awp.exe” is installed in "C:\Program Files\Atlantis" on a 32-bit systems, and in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlantis" on a 64-bit system. Whitelist “awp.exe” with your security application.

Read-only Aggravation
Thanks. Something must have worked. 1. Followed your instruction. 2. Created a file, saved it,added a few letters as a test and....3, This time, it didn't even get to "read-only" It wouldn't save. Said error in saving backup. 4. Didn't want to bother you again, so posted on Google, and was told to go into services, find Windows Back and Volume Shadow (??) and make them automatic. Still didn't work, so I rebooted everything and......And a) it gets the backup;l and b) I don't get "read-only". A longish journey, but so far, so good. Your reply somehow worked!!.
