how do you like being locked out of your own computer.
they have a message for everything.
it takes a while to get it all set up right, but for the person that has no idea of what their doing vista is a real nightmare.

Have you tried taken ownership of the folder through the advanced tab in your permissions? I know with XP you can do that, not sure about Vista.

i agree, id have to see the pictures and see them in high res to see what i can do for u. im pretty sure i can get them to work itd just take time to see how ur computer encrypted them when it wrote the file.
