It's currently in use by another program. Close all other programs, namely Starcraft, that are using the file and try again. It should work.

Is it open in another editor? Try just closing all programs.

Everything is closed except for IE, AIM and the Editor. 
And nothing still.. I dont know whats wrong. Could the Editor be corrupted or something?

if all else fails... copy the entire map and paste it onto a new empty one, and if you have triggers, they should be easily remade.....

starforge 2
drag the cut/copy/paste line from one corner to the opposite corner, click copy, go to a new map using starforge still, and paste

I had the same problem but i finally figured it out
Alright like they said it could be in used by another program but if its not that then i'm guessing you have sound in the map.
And u loaded the map in sf after importing the sound in xtra editor.
Then opened it again in Xtra editor and saved and the msg poped up.
but if u open it again in sf you'll noticed the sounds won't be there because sf doesn't allow it(don't know y).
But its no problem just save it again in sf so that theres no sounds imported then open the map in xtra editor.
u should test here if u can save without that msg poping up.
If it works then import the sounds back in again and don't worry about having to enable the triggers again because they all ready are then save and it should work.
This is only if you have music in your map and if this doesn't help you might of understood this wrong our its something else but i had this problem alot and after alot of experimenting i'm pretty sure this is the reason I've also noticed that it still saves the map even though it says it can't so don't freak out to much.
gl with your map

Your problem sounds like you have the file open on starcraft. but if you say it was closed...i have no clue what is wrong.

yo GoC)Sky did you use ANY other editor?
And at the end of my late post i said it still saves the map
just open the map in another editor if u have another one and u'll see it was saved

if you have music on the map try deleting it sometimes another editor messes up the normal that comes with sc so delete it and open with regular editor

The map is saved.
It's got something to do with sounds in starforge. Ignore the error.

The error pops up when the map was incorrectly saved in another editor
Staredit still saves the map tho, so you could have just opened it in winmpq and made a new mpq file and it would be fixed.
