Permission denied error

Hello, something weird just started happening with dev c++. Whenever I compile a program, it doesn't matter what the program is, it works once. Then when I try to compile it again it says "permission denied, Id returned 1 exit status". I have to wait about thirty seconds in between compiles in order to run it. Then it works fine. I've read that this could be caused by anti spyware software so I tried exiting out of Norton and doing it but I got the same results. I tried running dev as administrator, I made sure I fixed all syntax errors and I've tried to read all I can. Does anybody know what could cause this?

Thanks guys
No idea. Just try another IDE. Code::Blocks for example.
Dev C++ is pretty bugged, and never updated. Try using Code::Blocks or MS Visual Studio.
Fair enough, I've been meaning to switch over to visual C++ anyway. Thanks for that link Xander.
I had this once with Code::Blocks. I wish I could help, but I honestly don't remember what I did to fix it.

You closed your program.
In Windows, you can't overwrite executables while they're still running.

I don't think that was it. If I remember correctly, I think it had somthing to do with where I installed it.
