G'day,
I'm not sure if I should post exactly in this thread - but I couldn't find a different "failed saving in windows" bug thread and from reading, this sounded quite close. My partner used Zim recently on my recommendation. (I run linux and have had no trouble.)

She is running Zim 0.63 on Windows 7, from an SSD in a laptop. She had numerous errors intermittently popping up while making notes of a meeting. A picture of the error is attached, but the text is:
    Could not save page: Home:Meeting 2
    File changed on Disk: C:\Users\Mei\Notebooks\SA TESOL Conference\Home\Meeting_2.txt
    To continue you can [blablabla] ...
    Cancel / Discard Changes / Save Copy

Some other things that might help:
 * The notebook isn't in a Dropbox folder, but dropbox is running on her system
 * She hits Ctrl+S quite regularly (a habit from writing a lot in Word/etc.)
 * The error didn't occur during the first ~30 minutes of note taking
 * Once the error did occur, it would keep popping up until she closed/re-opened Zim
 * After restarting, she had around 5 minutes of clear use before it would pop up again

If it is something to do with caching / SSDs / Windows / otherwise, I'm not sure how much I can help.
If you want me to collect any logs that might be present on her laptop - I can give that a go.

Cheers.
