Hello all :) Occasionally when I'm working on a project for several days, I'll get the above error message. So I usually end up with MyProject.psd and MyProject2.psd and MyProject3.psd etc etc and it's just a pain. Any suggestions as to what's causing this error and what I can do to remedy it? Many thanks, Jenna

I've had this happen when i've copied back to my hard drive any art that i've burnt to a CD...

also make sure you don't have it opened in another app (like a "save as"...)

another thing to watch for is those blasted "thumbnail" images created in Windows directories when you select a file. One time i could not throw away a file because it said it was "in use", even though PS was not launched. When i changed my "view" option to DETAIL and selected the file again, i was able to toss it... go figure!!!

I'll look into why Windows decides to change some of your file properties to "read-only"...

but if you do get another, you can cancel the "save" and locate the file in the Windows Explorer and deselect the "read-only" checkbox in the properties. I know its a pain but it's better than sorting through multiple versions of an image ;)

@Rex I'm using Windows ME and Photoshop 7 @retrocity hmm well I didn't burn it onto a CD and I'm pretty sure I don't have it opened anywhere else.. I had forgotten about the "read-only" checkbox in the file properties so I went and checked that today and it WASN'T checked.. weird.. but next time it happens I will check and see right away to see it it's somehow gotten checked
