not really a encoding problem just.......

I recently downloaded vomits dark ride and when I was done i went back to delete the files and a message screen keeps popping up the message says: cannot delete vmt-dark-xvid it is being used by another person or program, close any programs that might be using the file and try again, well I cant figure out what other program might be using it, I have never had this problem before, any suggestions or could you point me to the forum that I shoulkd be in.

thank you

It's stating the obvious but I'd suggest rebooting first as this will usually clear any locks that an application has on a file.

If that doesn't work, I'm sure somebody here knows of a utility that identifies which application is locking a particular file.

Pretty common problem, instead of having to reboot everytime you want to delete a file try this

Cool unlocker program

Install it, then just right click on the offending file and select unlock. Then delete the little bastard.

Neversoft, if it is any comfort to you, I got the link from here and with an educated guess my money is on you being the 'someone here'

Ok, I quoted my source, no plagiarism here.

interesting that when someones nick reflects the female gender....all the posts are polite and helpful..

if it was a guy posting it would be the usual "flame him to hell that stupid fucker" or call him spastic lol

and that is as it should be...

i used to have this problem whenever i deleted fairly large files. i would simply kill explorer and then run it

it's a quick fix but not a stable one.

Relax guys... The "43" in the nick is CountryGrl's age and diameter of her neck in inches.

65dos... I'll go for a coffee, so long as it's spiked with Rohypnol and you use Vicks Vapour Rub instead of lube
