All of the sudden (XP/sp1a) I get "cannot delete xxxxxx, it is being used by another person or program". I've seen some of the work arounds, but this is happening all the time - like 50% of the time I touch a folder I can't delete it. Is there some way of figuring out what the real cause is?
It's annoying me so much I'm about to restore a Ghost image, but I'm not looking forward to it because I'd be looking at maybe 3 hours of work to get my system back to where it is. I'd have to go back to an early image because I don't know what app did it, and the only thing that makes sense is some app I installed is screwing things up.
I have both a DVD drive and CDRW drive. Under Nero I get a strange 3rd recording device listing for "Image Recorder". I don't know if that's normal or not. "HighMAT CD Writing Wizard" I think came from a Windows Update. Is there any chance of this doing it? (don't even know what it is).
Well, if anyone see's something in what I have installed.....I disabled most everything from start up abilities in MSCONFIG.
