Application already in use by another user

[ADKR]

I am on a 5 year old HP with Word 97. Whenever I open a Word doc I get the
message that it is already open by another user, and do I want to make a
copy? I select "no". When I close/save that doc I am told that I cannot
because it is in use. I have to save it as XXX2.doc and rename it after
closing. Any help with this old dinosaur machine and program appreciated.
