I have a problem publishing or saving a file as a PDF using Office 2007. The
problem started after I had my AMD processor upgraded. Now after I attempt to
save as/publish as a PDF, a Microsoft Office Word dialog box pops up "This
file is in use by another application or user."
After I click "Show help" button it reads:
"This error is commonly encountered when a read lock is set on the file that
you are attempting to open. Possible reasons for this:
Another user has the file open, either on the same computer that you are
using, or on another computer.
Word crashed at some point in the past and left a read lock on the file.
Another application has an exclusive lock on the file, preventing Word from
opening the file.
A custom application is running and has opened this file (possibly on
another user's computer). It may have opened the file using an incorrect
method.
To correct this problem, close all applications, restart Word and try to
open this file again. If this does not work, examine the properties of the
file to determine if someone else has it open. Occasionally a phantom process
(dead or disassociated program) may have a lock on the file, and the only
means of clearing it is to restart your computer.
For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 918593."
I've un-installed and re-installed Office 2007, but it still pops up.
However, when I use the computer in Safe Mode, the file saves as it should.
I even suspected a issue with the Securities Properties. But I'm not savvy
enough to mess with the Securities. Has anyone had this problem?
