I have a laptop operating Windows 7 and am the only user and the Administrator.
I have been using Serif Page Plus 6 for graphics work for years with no problems but have just upgraded to Page Plus 7. On attempting to insert an image from My Documents into a page I am getting a message saying "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner or Administrator to obtain permission." I have spent time with Serif's Customer Care department but finally they are unable to help me as they say this is a Windows problem.
I can import images from an outside storage devise and from my desktop but that is all.
Does any member have a suggestion to rectify this Windows problem?

Interestingly enough the problem has now resolved itself on my laptop, but is still effecting my PC.
I tried so many remedies that I now don't know which one did the trick.
