That suggests a problem with your Office installation. the most likely reason for the 'read-only' status is that the original instance of Excel is still running in the background and still has the file open.

You can repair the Office installation (via Start > Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change).
