This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CAMV to close. However, some background programs may block the CAMV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
