when I try to write (:w) a certain buffer, I get E505 (~ "file XXX is write-protected, override with w!"). The protection seems to be set by Vim, not the OS (WinXP). So I looked for the "readonly" option value, but it's set to "noreadonly". I also checked "write", which is set to "write". Nevertheless, everytime I try to :w the file, I get this E505 dialog. Any hints? I'm running Gvim 7.0 on Win XP)

are you able to write the file with ":w!"? If not, the file might be
opened exclusively or with write-access denied by another program.

With ":w!" the file can be written, so this can't be the problem.

Thanks, though ...
