This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DM_57 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DM_57 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
