Hi! Have you got the said file or any other file refering to it open in a text editor or an IDE?
I have faced this problem when I had the VC++ IDE open with the project file (but not the actual files) and was trying to update the project files (although the DSP and DSW workspace and project files were not updated). If this is the problem, then close the IDE or Text editor completely and try again. Hope this helps.
