"Read Only" attributes won't stay cleared

I have used Windows live photo gallery in the past and when i edit a picture it would save it. recently i get a pop up that states it can't save it because it's "read only". so i go and change the attributes for the folder and all subfolders and think that I'm done. i go back to Windows live photo gallery and try to save and the same thing happens, like i never cleared it. i check the "read only" status and it's back on. This folder is a on an external USB drive. I was thinking that it might be the problem but other folders are ok. any ideas?

What happens when you change the attributes of just the one file you're working on?
