Read Only library problem with OrCAD 17.2.029

Hi all,

I have a weird problem with Orcad 17.2 that i just installed (with latest hotfix). When i open an old design that i had made with OrCAD 16.6, it says that my library file is used by another user and it has to be opened in readonly mode. 

Every time i have to remove the library and re-add it to work with it. And i can guaranty that i am the only user of this library file. No one else uses it and it is not on a shared folder or anything like that.

Is there a way to see who OrCAD thinks is using the file?

Thanks,

Theocharis
