all the files i m accessing are in the same PC and not on any network/USB drives.
i v tried ever possible step in MS KB but its of no use.

i feel its Kaspersky which is causing the problem. anyone faced a similar issue

the same error cropped up yday on my bro's acer lappy and he lost an important file!!!

i v referred THIS forum but still no use.
:( this is diving me nuts now.

@iinfi,
Are you using Acer machine? You might want to check this thread; there seems to be some conflict between AV and an Acer driver.

Search for "Acer" in the above page.

A friend of mine, using an assembled desktop got the same problem, and it has started after installation of KAV. I too have KAV but havent had such a problem as yet. This problem occurs when save a document, edit it without closing and try saving it again..
