The document wasn't saved properly. The file may be marked read only, or you may be trying to save to a read only disc.
It's weird...so I save the file with another name and it saves ok.....but...open this second version file again and it won't save with same message and on and on....Anyone know how to stop this?

Hiya DK,
I actually know the problem for once...
Here's what it is:
There is this file known as Com Surrogate.dll, it is considered an unstable use in creating and working with thumbnails by your file explorer, since anime studio seems to make thumbnails now, it might utilize this dll file to create them. If you try to delete the file, you will get the error message that it is opened by Com surrogate, thus proving it is the problem, press cancel if it asks to try again to delete it.
The biggest issue is a deadlock, which means the computer is confused by 2 or more commands/programs that are trying to do opposite things all at once!
Here's how to fix it temporarily, as no permanent fix has been confirmed yet:
*I would highly recommend, based on what I heard, if you have a kesperky program to update it, as it might cause the problem, but was fixed in a revision.
*If you don't have such a program, here's what you do:
**press Ctrl + Alt + Del and go to your task manager.
***If you are on Windows 7 or earlier, go to your processes and look for com surrogate, right click on it and select "end task" and then close your task manager.
***If you are on windows 8 or 8.1 make sure you have "more details" arrow active on the bottom of task manager (you should see "less details" if it is currently active) go to "background processes" section and look for com surrogate and right click on it and select "End task", then close your Task manager.

The program will reset for awhile and allow you to save once more, repeat this process if it happens again. It has been tested and works for now.
Untested fixes (use at your own risk!):
*Update drivers and see if that helps.
*Allow com surrogate through your firewall/antivirus.
*Check for viruses.
*Check for registry errors.
*Contact smith micro and see if they are having the same issue with anime studio 10.x, (or if they know of it.)
*Try another computer.
*Move your contents to a New Document and Save.
**Delete The old document and replace the new one with it's name.
*Try turning off thumbnail saving.
**Reduce max thumbnail saving size.
*Try saving while Hardware Acceleration is off.
*Revert your document to V9.x via the menu
**Reopen it in V10.X and try saving again.
**Try it in V9.x and save there.
***Then reopen in V10.X
That's all I got in mind for temp/possible fixes, info, and ideas, try them out and I'll check back to see if these are possible fixes for everyone.
