You need to go back to the protect menu to un-protect them! You can see the manual below: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200703/20070330162556328_DigimaxS500_S600_ENG.pdf Hope this works for you...

How to unlock the protected picture
Simply select the same pictures, one at a time and lick on protection function or select all protected pictures and hit on the protection function. Tip. Its like you select a function one and exit, it remains selected so the function works, if you select a second time, the function is un-checked.

Windows photo gallery
Check if the pictures are not "damaged" on the memory card. Check if you did not protect the pictures. Most camera's have this button or menu setting, placing a little key logo in the picture, telling you it is protected from deleting and copying.
No brand, no model, I can't go for more details.
