Unable to access Gallery or Google Photos due to "system overlay"

[jwilson3138]

I cannot open Google Photos or the Gallery app to view or send/receive pictures. I can take pictures with the camera but afterwards I'm unable to see them. The error I'm getting says I need to enable system overlay, however when I attempt to do that it does not let me. I wish I could provide screenshots, but again I don't have access. Help!
