From: benjammin on 3 Jan 2006 17:25 I've tried them all in normal mode - no luck. At least one of them found the exact file but couldn't open it. I'll try them in safe mode - might that make a difference? I have also tried to manually delete the file myself, but I can't because it is always 'in use'. "David H.
