Can't delete a couple of files
HI,
A while back I attempted to install an older game (Sabre Team) and during the process it installed 2 files (Setup.exe and Sabre.exe) on my hard drive. The game didn't work so I deleted it. All the files deleted except for the 2 I mentioned, now as I try to delete these 2, I continually get the message the "Cannot delete Sab it is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again" I have closed all files except my computer or my documents and it still will not delete. Any Ideas. Thanks Huss |

Boot in safe mode and/or delete them from command line without ever opening explorer to find them. -- - Shenan - -- The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately responsible for your actions/problems/solutions.
