    Navisworks Manage - Server Busy Message

    When ever I start Manage I get a dialog box with Server Busy and reads the following:

     

    This action cannot ne completed because the other program is busy. Choost 'Switch To' to active the busy program and correct the problem.

     

    I then have the options Switch To, Retry, and Cancel(Greyed Out).

     

    When i hit Switch to it pulls up my start menu on my Win7. If I hit retry I get the same dialog box.

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

    WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

     

    Try manually stopping the WsCommCntr2.exe process.  I suspect the root cause of the problem is a failure in the InfoCenter system, since the same type of problem occured in earlier versions of AutoCAD with the same process/InfoCenter.

    I am trying to link Primevera-P6 V 6.2 to Navisworks 2011 on Windows 7 64bit Machine.

     

    and get the same error

     

    Server busy.

     

    This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to active the busy program and correct the problem.

    with optiond of Switch To and Retry

     

    It doesn't let me cancel this message box or close Navisworks.

     

    Can you please help with this?

    Although killing the WsCommCntr2.exe process is a workaround.  What is the actual fix?  Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening all together.
