I've just been using the XP CDR wizard to write a CD. The wizard keeps failing as it:
"Cannot delete <file>: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again".
Ditto if I try to delete it manually.
How can I found out what's using it and get rid of the bugger so that I can write CDs?
Also.... my PC struggles to shut down cleanly. It just sits with the shutdown screen on. What should I be looking for (other than a new install of XP)?
And.... when it boots, there's a *heap* of disk activity for the first 2-3 minutes after signing in. What's this a symptom of.
Time for Linux I think.
Cheers
