Fatal Error - Read Only

The drawing I was working on today had an "event". Unable to recover. LT warning of program instability, suggest you save your work and restart program, some other odd warnings. 0 kb recovery file created. Just lots of joy.
I have been thru a reboot at this time but when I open an existing drawing, any drawing, it comes up as Read Only and I need to save to another name and then cycle back to the original.
Thoughts?

DWL and DWL2 files still littering the folder?

...of the dead file even after closing and the reboot. Did a both a restart and a hard boot.
The files I was opening and showing read-only after the reboot do not have the DWL's hanging on after closing. This morning the files I opened and were read only yesterday are opening fine today. (Change - Still opening as read only)
I wish I had saved the Abort warning for you to see. I can't recall if I noticed a dll extention to it.
The items that I think caused the "event" are several DynBlk that I have had others add Fields to that may not being playing well in the 2008 program.

Just as you would ask if you were solving the problem for someone else:
only these files or all files? If you copy the files elsewhere can you
open them as writable from there?

Seems to be a random occurrence and I have not traced it to a particular folder. This happened after the crash occurred and like I said I wish I had saved a screenshot of the Abort alert as this may have shed some light.
This was a mean crash without a recoverable file: Neither the CAD generated recover or the drawing file that had been saved five minutes earlier were recoverable.

Perhaps the .bak file?

FWIW

That was bad too.

I believe I found the culprit: The Open / Open Read-Only must have set to Read-Only.
