Why are all files write protected and how can I check-in?

Question

I currently work with a Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio. Since two days, I keep getting error messages that I can't write to files (it seems not to matter which file I try to access). I am the only one in my team who has those problems.

So when I try to check-in, I get:

When I click on Overwrite, I can overwrite it. But when I try to check-in pending changes, I don't see any changes. If I modify a source file, I can compare it to the latest version and see that there are changes.

How can I fix this? I simply would like to work ...

Work-around: If I "Check Out for Edit..." the file (so I get the lock) I can edit it. But this doesn't work for the solution file, because somebody else checked it out.
