So this has been happening for a while and I have no idea what caused it. It happened almost out of nowhere randomly. I work on photoshop a lot and one day opened one of my old files. I made some changes to it and tried saving it when this error popped up. I have looked online and in the forums but haven't come across any solutions.

Here's an image of the error:


Does anyone have an idea as to what I can do? Please please please tell me this can be fixed because it is extremely annoying.

Thank you,

Fahim

Save your work someplace you can save to a different foldet a different drive where you can write too.

Read the massage and do what it states.  Unlock the file check your permissions etc.
