  Hi Robrw,

  1. when exactly you receive this error?

  2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

  You can try to rename the catroot2 folder and check if it helps.

  Step 1:

  a. Click Start and in run type C:\windows\system32 and click ok

  b. find the Catroot2 folder. Right-click on Catroot2 and rename it to Catroot2.old

  If you are not able to do the normal mode, try to start in safe mode and rename

  Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  Step 2:

  If you are unable to access the catroot2 folder, and then try to change the permissions on the files and check if it helps.

  See the following article:

  How to capture a file or a folder in Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421

  Step 3:

  You can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls and check what is happening.

  Note: Activate the security software after the resolution of the problem.

• Error: "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." when treid to install the device driver

  Original title: Windows cannot install the drivers

  I had a lot of trouble installing the drivers on my Windows computer.  I went straight in the Device Manager and deleted the devices I tried to install and reinstalled them, I went into safe mode, I got Windows to run the console and only the basic process and run from there Device Manager... no matter what I do the same mistake.

  "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".

  Even after a restore of the system, he did this, and I don't know what to do anymore.  Only devices that have been previously installed work.

  What's more important install my Blackberry software because my phone is broken.  The software cannot detect my phone because the drivers have not been installed.  Most of the devices I can use with Linux (I have Windows Vista and Ubuntu running on the same computer), but RIM don't make Blackberry for Linux software, so I have to do it on Windows.

• executable files: cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

  Hello
  I created a file named test.bat on my desk
  baptized "test.bat" and sent the notebook, wrote "REM" and recorded.
  so, I closed my notebook and reopened, has added another "REM" and saved the file again.
  then I tried to rename, move the file to another folder and delete
  everything went without any problems.

  But if I create the file and run it, the command prompt will appear for a while and then disappear.
  I can rename or move the file without any problem,
  But if I try to edit the file in Notepad, I get this error:

  The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

  and the file is not saved.

  also, if I try to delete the file, it seems to be deleted until I press F5, the file appears again.
  When you try to rename/move this new file, I get another error:

  File Access Denied

  You need permission to perform this action

  You need the permission of the administrator of the computer to make changes
  in this file

  It seems the file is opened (or if I choose to delete) after a few minutes, then it is not if I try to access
  the file (I kept pressing F5 every few seconds for 15 minutes and the file is missing)

  the problem appears if occuar with any file name, anywhere, not just the office or home by car, not even on the same disk,
  while I had no problem when I started in an old installation of windows xp and repeat the same steps.

  I tried to use the sysinternals utility handle, that's what I have:

  After creating test.bat:
  C:\Users\User>handle test.bat

  After you run test.bat:

  Hello

  It is the result of malware, then do a very thorough check and when the system is
  clean see the following message to remove this error.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

• Cannot access the file

  We have implemented a cluster and our hosts, added vmkernel and have the right licenses. The migration option is available, but then we get the error message "cannot access the virtual machine configuration: cannot access the file [storage]" I thought about is because they do not work on a shared storage...

  I had to think about iSCSI, but have not tried it before, and now I ask you, is the most optimal solution? We will cable from the server to the top with a SAS cable,

  The servers are located in different parts of the building, I could put the other to the first server and their cable it but to avoid this, is there another solution? I can't use the data storage "migrate" since I don't have essential vmware more...

  you need external shared storage and follow the right cable FC, iSCSI, or SAS. You can not just a two-server cable upward with a SAS cable and expect it to work like the discs are still local only. the other option is to search for virtual storage in which transform your disks local shared iSCSI volume
