357641 2005-05-23 03:11:00 ooohhh!! I really hope that someone can help me!!! I'm going crazy and want to cry :help: my problem is that i have two files that are constantly waiting to be written to my CDRW, even though i have written them to 5 different RWs now. I cant delete them, they always come up with this msg:
"cannot delete "research2" as it is being used by another person or program.
close any programs that may be using the file and try again."
Even though there is no other person using it, or program...
and I cant add the new files that i need to burn, becuase that previous file is ginormous, and my other files wont fit on the CD as well...
I've had this problem before, and the only thing i could do to fix it was reformatt... but god, i cant reformat everytime i need to burn a CD!!!
help me! can anybody?! I dont wanna cry!!! but i might... i have to get my work doneeee
thank you sooooooooooooo much in advance!

Boot into safe mode and delete the file. Then use Nero as the others say...
