Depends why the read only is happening.

Are you getting an error message, or at least a dialog box that says
something about read only? Or do you just need to know how to turn it off
after you copy a file from CD to your hard drive?

And i have microsoft office installed on my computer and whenever I open the
powerpoint it automatically changes to read only how do I turn this off

To turn off the read only that happens when you copy a file from CD to hard
drive, right-click the file in Windows Explorer, choose Properties, and turn
off read only there.

?? Again, if you're getting an error message, that is a different cause than
the read only that happens because the file was copied from a CD.

See http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00076.htm for another reason you
might receive a "read only" warning. Another reason is that someone has put
a modify password on it.

See? I asked those questions earlier for a reason.

If you'd answer the questions that Echo's asked you, one of us could probably
figure out what caused the problem so you know how to fix it if it happens
again.
