I downloaded a movie file and then moved it from my file that could be shared and put it in my documents. I then tried to play it with windows media player and it did'nt work. So, I decided to just delete it but I keep getting this errror message: CANNOT DELETE THIS FILE IT IS BEING USED BY ANOTHER PERSON OR PROGRAM. CLOSE ANY PROGRAMS THAT MIGHT BE USING THE FILE AND TRY AGAIN. I dont have any other programs that are using this file. I deleted the file sharing program the file came from b/c it had adware.
I'm running W2K Pro on a IBM laptop and I have a movie file I downloaded from Limewire, it was supposed to be a funny cartoon but after trying to open it I just got some noise and a blank WMP screen, so I was going to delete the file, but when I right click and chose delete it won't delete, the propertys also won't display and I get a box that says they are unavailable, I also can't move the file at all, I tried to delete in Safe Mode but that didn't work either, I ran Ad-Aware, Spybot and have the free version of AVG and none of them found any bad stuff installed, the computer works fine but I just want to get rid of this file,
i have a movie file in My Documents, and when i click it and try to delete it, a window comes up that says that it can't be deleted because its being used by another program. THEN, my computer begins running slow and i have to restart my pc. I tried the same procedure in Safe Mode, but the same thing happened. Any advice as to how i can delete this file?

New at this , but completed 2 movies just fine. My last move simpily will not save. What am I doing wrong. All kinds of space left on my computer, and I am doing the same procedure I did with the first 2. This capture I did edit, but I'm sure I did it right.
When I try to play a movie file on my PC, I get al these lines all over the screen, then my PC's monitor click on and off like I am changing the resolution. This only has started heppening since i played a movie I got from a website. Also, this problem happens to all my video files, no matter what program I use to play them.

i downloaded a 2GB Quicktime movie file from an oversea friend onto my WinXP PC but i couldnt get it to work although i playback it with Quicktime. He streamed the quicktime file from internet thru his Mac PC.When i received it i noticed it doesnt have an ext at all.
I have Windows Movie Maker version 5.1 and it just simply does not show any options for file type in the Save Movie Wizard settings. I do get options that affect file size/resolution but no "Other" settings. Do I have the wrong version of WMM? I'd like to save my movies as .avi files

A friend gave me mccaffee firewall to put on my computer yesterday, add to my mccaffee security suite.It was an win rar file that I exracted and installed. Now, my machine is running funny.Dvds in media player are forced to close after only watching maybe 5 minutes of them.I got a message appologizing, but media player was going to have to closed.I followed the tabs to see what the error report said, and it sighted a file in my local/temp folder.I went and tried to delete the file, but it would not go, said it was being used by another program, though I had closed all open programs. In addition, the mccaffee extraction on my desktop will not delete, even after running msconfig and disabling all startup programs, restarting in safe, I still get a message saying that the files are being used by another program.
My hard drive was formatted due to a virus and now when the computer is turned I get an empty file folder every time. I would like to know how to remove this and have it just go directly to my desktop.
Unfortunately my PC got a virus which corrupted (amongst others) my wininet.dll file. My virus software quarantined all the infected files, but wininet.dll is needed to run explorer.exe. I have tried to recover a previous copy of wininet.dll but it is corrupt and now every time I try to turn on my PC (even in safe mode with command prompt, it crashes when it tries to load up this file). I have lost my boot disk and have no way of deleting the wininet.dll file (which would at least let windows run). how to I can delete the corrupt file?
Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the source files used in your movie are still available, that saving location is still available and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again.
This error is driving me nuts.
Not matter what drive I select, no matter what files I use as a source, I STILL GET THIS ERROR.
I have 2 hard drives, one with 35 gigs free space, the other with 90 gigs of free space. I have 2 gigs of RAM. AMD 64 3700+ processor.

For an unknown reason about a month ago, my computer turns itself back on after I have powered down. I have to turn off the power back at the surge protector to keep it from starting itself back up. Apparently, I pulled an "automatic wakeup switch" but do not know what or how to turn it back off. Now when my wife hollers for me to get off the computer and start the dishes, I can't just power down and leave the room. I have to wait for windows to close and the computer to shut off, then crawl behind the desk and turn off the power source before I can get away.
o.k here my problem the computer turns off by its self and every thing on my desktop goes away but not my wallpaper it stays on anyone have any idea way is this happening?i run spy sweeper 4 and it did dont found anything.
I have a Window XP and for some reason the computer is turning off and on by itself. This have happened before. Sometimes it turns on then it turns back off by itself. What's wrong? Can it be a virus?
At night, I turn my system off using a "shutdown" icon. Each morning, the computer is back on.I ran AVG and found nothing. I keep Zonealarm updated and running as well as MS anti-spyware and Spyware Blaster.I recently deleted all scheduling in AVG, but it didn't help. It's been doing this for a while, but at first I thought it was just me not shutting the system off. The last couple of times I watched to make sure the computer had turned off. I've also been disabling my internet connection before shutdown. It's not My imagination - but what could it be?
this is rather annoying, at random times my computer automatically turns off. sometimes it restarts but other times i have to repeatedly press the power "on" button in order for it to turn on again. why might this occur and is there any solution?
I was leaving to work, so I left the computer in standby. I got home about 7 hours later and when I tried to return to desktop, the fan went on loudly but kept on going and nothing would be displayed on the screen. I just turned it off by the front panel button and went to sleep. This morning, I tried unplugging the whole machine from the electricity plug and replugging it in..well it worked! It started but the fan was constantly working for some reason.I downloaded SpeedFan and at the time the temp was like 43 (normal?). Then I turned it off to see what was wrong with the fan. I opened the box and did a small vacuum just trying to collect the dust.after that NO LUCK.The computer doesn't even come on anymore. I have important files on it.I'm going to be screwed.
This sight has always been a God Send and someone has always helped me brilliantly, considering my knowledge of computers only goes so far.A friend from Iraq has a computer and his children always seem to mess it up. He has one of his friends work on it and it does always come back to life but I have downloaded a few things on his computer to scan and get rid of all the bad stuff.Okay, so this last time, a friend fixed it and now he can not go under "Guest" without the computer shutting itself down and when I told him he could just eliminate guest, he said he had things saved on it he doesn't want to lose.
My computer boots up and runs fine for several minutes to a few hours then all of a sudden the monitor screen goes black and (if it is on the screen) the mouse pointer gets big. I have to reboot and then sometimes it will work fine for as long as I am using it. Sometimes it does the same things several hours later or several minutes later. In other words I have not been able to establish a pattern for when it happens. Anybody have any ideas what may be going on? I use Windows 2000 Pro, Amd processor(sempron), 512 Megs of RAM, Computer motherboard about a year old.I got windows 2000 installed because I could not get XP registered with MS after old MB died. I kinda like Win 2K better anyway.I have cleaned out my case and tried to make sure processor is not overheating.Just am stumped as to what may be the problem.
I started out having a trojan or a virus that kept me from being able to do much on my computer, and I was running VERY slow. So I tried doing a Restore point and that did not do, because my computer could not find a restore point it could work from. I had several, but I would get an error message saying I could not use that restore point. Anyway, I then decided to reformat it. After I did that, my monitor started acting up. It has NEVER done this before... It would be on, and I would be computing right along, and all of a sudden my monitor would just go black! Then it would completely log off. I would get a message saying there was no connection. It never did completely turn the computer off (like some errors usuallly do) it was JUST the monitor, but I could not get the monitor to come back on unless I turned the computer off myself and rebooted it. I did a reboot and it worked for about 30 minutes and then started doing the same thing all over again, but this time it would only work about 10 mintues then shut down the monitor. I would reboot and the same thing would happen over and over again.
I went to microsoft online and looked for the Windows XP downloads and decided to try and update anything I needed. It did all the updates and said I had something that was damaged and needed repaired so it fixed that problem and I tried it again after the reboot. Still nothing helped the problem.My DH first thought it may be the video card. He opened it up to check and found it was very dirty and dusty around the fans etc.so he cleaned it, hoping that may have been the problem and put it back together. I tried it again and got the same thing! NOW, it will work about 2 minutes before it turns itself off! So tonight he is going to try a different video card in it and see if that helps...if not he said it may be the motherboard. Do you have any other suggestions as to what may be causing this problem? I am at a loss myself.I have also ran my ZoneAlarm Suite, nothing picked up, McAffee, found nothing, AVG found nothing, I did a disk defrag and that did not help either. I uninstalled all the antivirus and antispyware and still did not help. I now have only the McAffee running on it. (By the way I did not have all the antivirus programs running at the same time, ever.)
