Here's one that we have been trying to solve today with no luck so far... We have a revit project file here in our office that was mistakenly set up by the user as a template file, which the user couldn't open - each time it gave hime the error "file cannot be opened as it is open by another user - try again later" (or words to that effect). So i fixed the template problem by using the template file to start a new project... (so now the .rte file is a .rvt file) but we still can't open the file on that particular PC. We have tried opening the file on a newer PC and have had spurratic luck. i currently have them open, and I have noticed that this then allows me to open them read-only on the original PC - but I can't re-save it under another name on that PC (although i can re-save on the newer PC). I have tried turning the fire-wall off, re-booting etc. however still no luck. I have even updated Revit and Windows Vista to the latest versions/updates on the original PC... One thing we do have that could be part of the issue on the original PC is an error message on boot-up that 'host processes' have stopped working.. i start to get a bit lost here though... Can anyone offer any advice on what to try next....thanks in advance.
