Hey there, Charles L.10, I'd be happy to help!

Have you tried following these steps, by any chance? 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

        I don't see a way to paste the screenshot into this reply box. Here are the options:
        Share
        Manage access
        Make available off line
        Move to vault
        Star
        Save to device
        Rename
        Dominate
        Move
        Open with
        Delete
