Using PS 6.01 on WinXP. I am having this very frustrating problem with Photoshop 6 and Illustrator 10. I get the above error every time I try to save my work, and am forced to "save as" a new file and can end up with as many as 10 files (which can use a LOT of disc space). Then I have to remember to go back and delete the extra files when WinXP will let me. This is probably an XP problem, but it only happens with these two Adobe products. Does anyone have any experience with this? Meanwhile, I'm also checking out Windows support.

Thanks,
Teressa Terry

Sorry, no, all work is local; my machine has two drives and the work is saved on the D drive. I switched my scratch disk to D to see if that made a difference, but it didn't.

I didn't find anything on the WindowsXP support site, but that's no surprise.

Are you saving over a network <http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/19dd2.htm?code=TA>?

search for and rename psicon.dll (i think that was included in 6) the downside is you'll lose the ability to see icons as mini thumbnails of you psd's.

Here's a discussion on stopping that problem in PS 6:

Thanks! I deleted the psicon.dll file and now I can save in Photoshop (haven't tried it in Illustrator yet, but I'm guessing there is an illustrator icon.dll file somewhere). Losing thumbnails was a drag, but I can live with that. I read the discussion below, but I'm guessing that applies to the thumbnail problem, not the saving problem.

I am having the same problem in PSCS. I also see .tmp files being placed into the folder that the file I'm working on is in. Will the fix for PS6 work in PSCS. I am saving over a network.

thanks,
