i put my sd card in my laptop #1 and when i open the folder to view files it said its locked. when i put it in my other laptop #2 it says i have to check my network resources, whats going on !! i need these photos?!
 
Unless you are trying to access your SD card from laptop #2 while your SD card is still in laptop #1, the message on laptop #2 shouldn't be there. Check the pins on your SD card to be sure that it hasn't been damage in any way. I can't say much else about this problem, other than checking the slider. That is the only thing that would prevent a perfectly fine SD from being accessed.
