This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AVGDI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AVGDI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
