Technical Question

I'm trying to delete a video and whenever I try to drag it somewhere or delete it, this pops up... It's a video and it's been doing it for the past month. Anyone know how I can get rid of it?? Sorry if this isn't in the right section, I just guessed...:veryconfu

Make sure DiviX and all other Media Players are closed. That should do it

I am assuming you are trying to delete from a clean boot, as CEO suggests. If that does not work, you have a more serious problem.

Is this the only file that you have this problem with?

Some catelog programs take control of a file folder and guards the contents within. The problem should effect all files in that folder. If this is the only file in that folder that has this problem, hmmm.

I had this problem once. I set the recycle bin to auto delete. I was able to clear out the folder that way.


Other things: can you open the file and use it or do you get the same error. If so, you might get a 'details' option and that might tell you what program is holding you up.

If these dont work, try giving a few more details and maybe we can come up with something.

He got it..

I told him to locate the file, right click. then properties.. Then click General. Then makesure Archive is checked and not Read Only


He said none were so he checked archive.. then ok.,.. then it seemed to delete ok


Problem Solved.

I've had that problem when win2000 tries to preview a file when I click on its icon. All I have to do is click off of the icon, click back on it and quickly press delete before it tries to preview again.
