"Could not complete your request. File is locked"

Hi.

I'm using the really old Macromedia Fireworks 4 (it does what I need!). It has been running just fine on my Windows 10 PC up until maybe a couple of months ago. I can open and view files ok. I can also edit them ok. However when I try and save the file all I now get is this error:

"Could not complete your request. File is locked"

The files are definitely not read-only.

I've tried searching the web for answers but nothing I've tried has worked so far. Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

Cheers.

Graham.

    You are here in the Photoshop Elements forum. You are not likely to get expert help for your old software here.

    Just an idea: could you save your creation as a new file?

    Thanks MichelBParis. I know it’s a forum for newer software but can’t find any equivalent forum for old stuff. It’s the same for creating new files - same error.
