And then I got this message out of the blue in the middle of the screen

I scanned the disk for errors Non. What is exactly the problem and how to fix it.

Thanks. I visited the link. All the options failed to produce except the registry key. I created the registry key and gave the value as directed. Not only it worked but also it increase the open/save file to light speed.

If nothing has changed in your system then the delay write failure is an early indication of an upcoming drive failure.

Wow... not good news.

Indeed, nothing has changed. It just happened suddenly two days ago.

I will keep watching any developments. Thanks
