Could you be at your maximum number of connections to the server ? Normally that’s why you would use something like windows 2008 R2 Server to work around those limitations.
Scripts particularly if they call other scripts can very easily hit that maximum on a plain windows 7 machine used as a file server.

Its a bit intermittent too btw, it doesn't turn it into a shared copy straight away every time..

It says "[scene] cannot be saved because it has been loaded as a shared copy.The main user is" and there is no user listed. So I know what this window is, and I am suspecting the problem is that Im saving via a script that is located on the server, so when I run the script, maybe the SERVER is the new owner of the file? So locally I cannot save it? That makes sense in my head, but if so, how do you avoid that problem, I've worked places with save scripts like the one I made and they didn't have the issue so hopefully there is a way around it.. I thought it was the deadline submission script as that does a 'save as' too and that's also located on the server - same problem potentially. Cheers!
