sundevil777 102 #1 October 14, 2006 I've tried to find the program that is using it within the task manager (processes), and nothing seems obvious. I know it is related to a game of my kids, but that game isn't running. There isn't anything running in the 'tray' that would use this file. Thanks in advance for your help.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 1010 #3 October 14, 2006 just reboot regularly and delete the file before starting any apps yourself (if it's being held by something that automatically starts .... then do safe mode ) You can have it good, fast, or cheap: pick two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be careful with files that your OS needs to function though. What kind of file is it? http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ "Once we got to the point where twenty/something's needed a place on the corner that changed the oil in their cars we were doomed . . ." -NickDG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
