Resource problems .net 2005

I have recently moved an application from .Net 2003 to .Net 2005. It is an
MFC / C++ app not using any of the .Net Framework stuff.



I am experiencing very buggy behaviour when editing resources, i.e. dialogs
etc.



Visual Studio simply reports "Cannot save file C:\...myfile.rc", after doing
something as innocuous as resizing a button.



The file edits fine in 2003. It also compiles OK and builds using 2005 (I
just can't make changes)



This isn't a tremendous amount to go on, but I am at a stand still.



Where should I begin looking?



Regards,

First make backup copies of your application. Create a new blank
application in VS2005. Add in your application files one by one to
the new project. Save the new project and then try editing.

Sometimes this clears the problem, if not then you still have the
backups of the old files to return to.
