When saving powerpoint files I receive an error "...file loaded by another user".
I am saving to an external flash drive, and I receive no errors when saving files from other applications, including other Office applications.
It's simple enough to save the file as a new file each time, but that is not a reasonable solution.

I would recommend updating your software as the first step. This typically sorts the odd issue.
