Sharing violations in Excel since Windows 7

Since installing Windows 7 (the released version) I am frequently getting the error "Your changes could not be saved to filename.xls because of a sharing violation. Try saving to a different file." It appears to only be happening in Excel (version 2007) and only if resaving a file that is already there. Anyone got any suggestions? I cannot find any help doing searches on the Internet.
Thanks.

Here's the response I got back from Trend today:
Hi,
Unfortunately this is known issue for Windows 7. Please try the ff.
1st Solution
1. On the Officescan Management Console. Go to Networked Computers>Client Management.
2. Highlight a machine with the issue.
3. Go to Settings>Real-time Scan Settings.
4. Under User Activity on Files, change the Scan files being to created/modified.
5. Click on Save.
6. Observe if issue will still happen.
If the 1st Solution does not work, do the ff.
1. Open Registry Editor. Please make a backup before doing any changes.
2. Create a DWORD registry entry "UseMapping" under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vsapint\Parameters
3. Set the value to "0" to disable the file mapping.

Getting a Sharing Violation using CS3 when saving/refreshing our Windows 2008 box

To be clear, this is NOT an IE issue as I don't use IE at all in development. This is a ColdFusion 10 environment. I'm fairly sure this a Windows/IIS configuration issue.
Basic Info:
This error happens while on XP or Windows 7
This error does not happen when interacting with any other environment.
Scope of issue:
I work on both a Windows 7 and XP environment (2 laptops). I run both CS3 and CS5.5 on both machines. I have no problem whatsoever working with any linux or windows servers running a mix of ColdFusion 7 and 8. Recently our IT group brought up a Windows 2008 server running ColdFusion 10. This is the ONLY server I have this issue with and switch servers often depending on project. It MUST be either the ColdFusion 10 configuration or something with Windows/IIS. Our IT group is unable to resolve this issue on their own.
Here is what happens.
I save the file, then, if I view it with ANY browser (firefox, chrome, IE... etc) the file will generate a sharing violation if you attempt to save it again within 15-20 seconds. Past that point, it will save fine. No other server displays this behavior.
So what has been done so far?
ColdFusion:
- On settings, class files are NOT being saved and all saved templates are set to 0. Bascially any caching of any type is disabled. (Error still persists)
I don't know what to do in windows or IIS at this time. I've never encountered this issue before so look toward the community for solutions. Thank you.

Moved to the ColdFusion forum.

Sharing Violation error when inserting a table

Hi Everyone.
I know this question has been asked before but no one seems to have a working solution.
We have Macromedia MX (6.1) installed on a room with windows 7 on all the computers, on a server 2008 network, connectiing to a server 2003 user area server. It seems to work fine until you try to insert a table which is different to the default options. It then throws up a sharing violation error to do with the table.htm file under the Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX\Configuration\Objects\Common\ folder. The program then closes. The things I have tried to get this working so far are -
uninstall and reinstall
deletion of the Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX\Configuration\ folder
changing location of Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX\Configuration\ folder from network drive to local drive
making sure the user has complete ownership of the folder and the file in question. They do
checking the same problem exists with an adminstrator account and a normal user account. It does.
having the user log on to a windows XP machine connecting to the same server with the same log on account. This works fine! So almost certainly a problem with Windows 7.
runnning the dreamweaver program as administrator
changing where the site is saved to.
Im really all out of ideas. Yes i know that its an old version and the newer versions work a lot better, but this is all we have at the moment.
I really appreciate any help!

Hi Chrissy,
According to the description, you were not able to save the workbook after you typo some VBA code. Which version of Office are you using? Are you save it manully?
Based on my understanding, this issue is not realtive to the code and it maybe a know issue about Office 2007. You can fix it via link below:
Description of the 2007 Office system hotfix package (Msoshext-x-none.msp): April 27, 2010
If you still have the issue save it manually, I would suggest that you reopen a new question in
Microsoft Community- Excel forum to get more effective response.

How to remedy sharing violations when saving an AS3 file.

Since installing Flash CS4 (I previously had CS3) I've had a rather annoying problem that is really cutting into my productivity.
If I 'Test Movie' or 'Debug Movie' and then switch back to my actionscripting window and make changes and then try to save without closing the movie, I receive a sharing violation notification. I then have to close the movie and wait for at least 3 seconds after doing so before a save will succeed without giving a sharing violation.
I know that doesn't sound like much, but when you do it hundreds of times in a day it really eats up time and interrupts workflow.
Anybody know how to remedy this? I've tried creating fresh AS3 files in fresh locations but to no avail. I can find no similar references to it using google.
Thanks in advance. Here's the dialog:

As there's not been a single response, is there any way to pass my question on to support proper, and get the answer added to the knowlege base? This is rather important I think.

"A sharing violation occurred while accessing"

Using Deamweaver 8 on Windows XP Pro
"A sharing violation occurred while accessing..." And the
file path. This occurs when I'm trying to save the doc to my local
server at the same time I'm viewing it in a browser. Closing the
browser usually stops the message but not always and sometimes I
don't get the message when I have the browser open either.
It's really annoying and I know other programmers who work
with the browser open at the same time and have never seen this
error. I have an apache server running with coldfusion and mysql. I
read somewhere that the message occured when the IIS server said
"starting.." in the services section. It was like that at one point
so I uninstalled it IIS since I don't need or use it. I'm still
getting the error tho. Any advice would help. Thanks!

ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
Getting the following error message:
Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
Please advise.
Environment: Windows 7 x64, HP TouchSmart tx2-1020us Notebook

<edited by host>

I am using Windows 7 x64.
I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
I am running Mcafee.
I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

Can not edit file on network shared folder after upgrading to windows 7

Merry Christmas and happy new year,
Due to some configuration changes on a specific application, I have forced to upgrade OS of a few number of workstations from Windows XP to windows 7. After upgrading I am facing a strange problem on WIN7 workstations. These workstation are member of a Windows
2008 R2 Active Directory domain which also has a Windows 2003 advanced server additional domain controller. Also there are a number of shared folders on some member servers (all windows 2003) which are mapped as network drives at user logon. Before upgrading
mentioned workstations to WIN7, users was able to edit his/her files on all of mapped network drive according to his/her permissions without any problem on their WINXP workstations, But after installing windows 7 they begin facing problem on one of these mapped
network drives and the problem exactly is when they edit a file, in more specific word an excel file, and then try to save, the excel returns an error message of "document not saved" and exit the excel program. It becomes more strange when you learn
that the edited excel file is disappeared and replace with some "tmp" file. If user copy the excel file to his/her own desktop, edit it and then copy it back to its original place on mapped network drive, it will be replaced normally with its older
version. In other words if user wants to edit an excel file on that specific network drive, he/she must edits it somewhere else and then replace it on the network drive. If the same user uses a WINXP box, there will be no problem.
Can anybody help me to fix the issue?
TIA
Bijan

Thank you Karen,
The problem is fixed, but my case was none of what you suggested. In fact I have
another problem which I described in another question and it was of the root of this excel file issue. I describe what I have done to fix the latter problem hope to help fixing similar issues to mine.
Okay, as it is described in the
question, I was not able to open a shared folder with its UNC address while it could be mapped as a network drive without any problem. I examined what I was replied and some other ways, came to no result. I decided investigate a similar shared folder in
permissions to problematic one to see if the problem is repeated. So I created a folder and shared it with similar permissions and examined it. Surprisingly there was no problem. It was wise to remove sharing of the problematic folder and share it again to
see if the problem resist. But when I tried to remove sharing I received an error message saying that
the shared folder is related to a DFS root. When I took a look at the DFS roots of domain there was no sign of the problematic folder (that made me recall that I created a DFS root with problematic folder mistakenly and removed that DFS root).
After little searching, I found out that the problem could be caused by traces of the removed DFS root. Yep! I found the suspect! The registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DFS\Domain\problematic shared folder. I removed the key restarted DFS service and log off and on and Bingo!
This problem pops up a few more questions:
1) Why is not the registry key related to removed DFS root deleted from the registry of windows 2003 server?
2) Why was I able to browse this ex-DFS root shared folder without any problem in windows XP while it was problematic in windows 7?
3) As there is no special client service for DFS and user can access DFS root targets like other shared folders what is the deference between shared resource access mechanisms in windows XP and windows 7 that caused the problem?
Bests,
Bijan

Sharing Violation in DreamWeaver CS6

Hi there,
I am experiencing a 'sharing violation' message in Dreamweaver CS6 when using a web development tool - Mixture. http://www.mixture.io
Basically, when i try to save files in dreamweaver, whilst mixture is running, I get a message saying:
I can eventually save the file, but only because the original file that i was trying to save gets deleted somehow.
Having looked around google, and these communities, it seems this is a common problem with Dreamweaver.
Anyone have any ideas how to stop these type of sharing violations ? - I am using wamp as a local server for development with apache 2, and php.
Thank you

Hi there Harshit,
Thanks your your help,
I've tried the suggestions in the posts by yourself, and your colleague - unfortunately none have worked:
removing any temp files
searching for hidden files
turning off synchronisation
recreating cache,
turning off cache
turning off indexing on folders
turning off library options in windows explorer.
I still get sharing violation errors - it seems to be a common thread with Dreamweaver. Perhaps it's something that needs to be changed for the windows version.
Thank you

Sharing violation error after closing file

I am creating a text file using the "Write to Spreadsheet File"
vi. After creating the file, I cannot change the name, or open
the file in XL because I get a "sharing violation" error.
Apparently Labview has not released the file even after closing it.
Only after the main vi quits is the file released for editing by
others. I have never seen this problem before using the
Spreadsheet VI. Can anyone provide some help or advice?
I am running Win2000 SP4.
Thanks.
Greg Whaley

Hi Greg,
I can't reproduce this. I wrote a VI which should have caused this problem, but didn't. I attached it below. Give it a try and see if you have different results, of if something's different in your code that could have caused this.
Anyone else experienced this?

"A sharing violation occured..."

While modifying a DW template, I suddenly began receiving
sharing violation error messages which disallow saving the file and
thus, updating the html pages based on the template. As I am the
only one to use the program, I consider this some sort of
glitch--any idea how to get around it (in preferences or
elsewhere?)?

That's because IE doesn't know what to do with a *.dwt file,
since that
extension only means something to DW. Enable preview with
temp files in
your PREFERENCES, and then you'll be able to preview OK.

Error accessing a file...sharing violation 32?

DW CS5 is giving me an error report that says, error accessing file...sharing violation 32.
Never had this problem before. Using windows 7.

I recently downloaded cs5 master addition to my desktop (working on laptop). Have not used it yet on desktop. I was told you can use two pcs.
My serial number apparently is a volume number student/teacher additon. I Wonder if I delete dreamweaver from the desktop if that will remove the error.
The error happened just now specifically when I attempted to make a newly created page into the template. Assets (moved template to new page) error on screen.

No web cam since windows 8 l505-s5988

I hope this is the best subforum for this (wasnt sure if this one or windows 8 subforum or another one).
I recently bought a really good Satellite l505-s5988 & had to put Windows 8 on it. Everything has seemed to work great except apparently the built in web cam is not getting recognized. When I went to device manager it only shows under imaging devices is a usb cam. I cant seem to find any drivers or info about it for if you are using windows 8. Any help please???
Thank you very much for your time & assistance.
P.S. I know at least before installing windows 8, it did work. Not sure about if it ever has since windows 8

Hmmmm. Oh and the problem is that in Device Manager the built-in webcam doesn't show up at all in imaging devcices! All that shows is a usb cam driver. When I go to Camera like you normally would, it looks like its starting up (because has Camera Options, Change Camera, Timer, & Video icon buttons at bottom but it never loads a image or anything & then it says at top of page that There Is A Problem With The Camera.
This is the only thing we've had not work correctly so far on this with Windows 8 installed (which has been about a month & half of daily use. Other than this, this laptop runs EXCELLENT with 8 including when I go to PCpitstop & test it, it ranks in Everything in Top 40% at very lowest rating out of all the tests (most things rank much higher). We've been surprisingly impressed so far.

A sharing violation occured while accessing

Hi,
If I open my css file in DW CS3, edit it, save it, all is
well, I can edit and save it to my hearts content. If I preview the
file in a browser, then go back to the css and edit it then save
it, I get a sharing violation.
I can edit the css file in notepad, but cannot delete the
file from windows, or edit in DW (both give sharing violations.
I am using DW CS3, Vista Ultimate x64 and CF8 developer
webserver.
Any ideas?

Dreamweaver sharing violation on save after previewing file

Hi all,
First, have I mentioned that I LOATH Windows Vista with every

On to the problem at hand.
I'm in Dreamweaver and I edit, then preview a file. Next I
edit it some more
and then try to save it - but cant. I get an alert stating
that there is a
sharing violation because the file is being used by another
program, and it
just stays this way, even if I shut the browser down. even if
I restart
Dreamweaver it's still locked. The only way I can get it to
let go is to
totally reboot!
Has anyone else run into this? Found a solution?
Thanks for your help.

Dreamweaver Sharing Violations

Can anyone help? I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and all was good
in the past. I was able to make changes, save and preview all day
long, that is until I started using CF8. I just installed
ColdFusion 8 Dev Server on my local system. Now, every time after I
save and preview, I am locked out of my document with a Sharing
Violation. ???
I can get rid of the sharing violation error by restarting my
server or by using ccollomb's Unlocker program. But that is not
practical when making multiple edits throughout the day. (by the
way, with the Unlocker program, it shows that my file is still in
use by JRun.exe)
I have searched the discussion forums and the net and have
seen others posting the same problem. Any solutions out there? Can
anyone point me in the right direction? Oh, I've also contacted
Adobe on this matter and they said they've never heard of this
problem and their only suggestion was to move my files to another
directory (which didn't work).

Cold Fusion 8

Thanks.

This was driving me out of my mind, as well. I too was
getting the dreaded "sharing violation" error. Turns out, the
solution is pretty simple. Go into the CF Administrator. Under
Server Settings, go into the Caching section. At the top of the
page, you can enter the "Maximum number of cached templates." Enter
zero, and submit changes. That worked for me.
