This can happen as AutoSave is On . It is disabled by default. Can you try changing the settings (Tools -> Options, and then go to the Load/Save -> General tab. Tick the "AutoSave every" option and enter a BIG time, say 1hour) and try this. Here you have the choice to also disable the "Always create backup copy" option.
