Send me your hard drive, I can extract the images Got another PC? Take your hard drive out and use a sata to USB adaptor to extract the images

 

It's incredibly annoying...Try re-booting in safe mode and see if it will allow you to view the files then. If so, then you'll need to go into the folder properties and identify yourself as the administrator, even then that may not work (there is actually a "super" admin account that is locked in Vista, it's the true "administrator" account...Don't ask me why lol) and you may have to make some registry key edits to gain full access to those files.

 

I believe this is right.....

I can't test it either because I'm using windows 7. And yes, its better.
