Try using "Save as" to a different location

good idea but it didn't work. I am wracking my brain here and the only thing different is that I activated melodyne. I also bounced a bunch of clips and deleted a bunch of take lanes. I actually had one clip that I used melodyne one. I removed it thinking that was the problem but it made no difference

Copy all of your tracks and place them into a new project. That will usually work if you have the disk space.

something like that has happened to me a time or two.....
I suspect the culprit to be something has glitched in the underlying OS and not directly related to Sonar..... but it affects the save operation in Sonar....
Anytime the computer starts to act squirrley it's time to quickly cover your butt with a save or in this case a copy to a new project and save..... as soon as I notice my DAW is not acting right I save and restart the complete system from a cold boot. That only takes a few minutes, whereas forging ahead could cost me hours of work.

Yes SOS is what I didn't follow. (Save Often Stupid) So I was stupid. I had this problem once with Sonar 8.3 and I can't remember what my solution was. I think it involved getting rid of a plug in or something but not sure. This is Windows 7 64 bit. a relatively fresh install.

If you go through the latest bug fix list for X3e it is mentioned there as being resolved.
Oh well...

SOLVED!
I had this problem today, in 8.5. I read somewhere that you should just output an audio file (either of one track or more - doesn't matter). Once I did that, magically it then allowed me to save the project.
Nothing else I read about and tried worked.

Do you mean export an audio file or just start playback?

Next time first try deleting the files in your Picture Cache folder, which is usually the problem.

I will try this next time...this has been a periodic problem for me also...several threads on this...x3e seems to have reduced the frequency...but periodic crashes when loading a song I've saved our when I try to work on it still "bug me"... What is the "picture cache" and why is it important/a problem...?

Maybe worth mentioning in this context as well:
A HDD needs nearly 10% of it's capacity to remain free in order to work reliably and to be able to perform defragmenting and such. So, even if you have 30 gigas free space, it might not be enough for fluent HDD performance, especially if the HDD is very fragmented. At least this used to be the rule. If this is not true today, the better.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

I'm not sure if restore point (Volume Shadow Copies) are reported as disk space used.
You might check the configuration for restore space size.
Personally, I have it set to 0 and I just make frequent image backups.
Also, you can run Disk Cleanup on the drive to free stuff that usually is not needed after an installation is solid.
