Error code: 0x80004005 when you try to delete a .mkv file. Says that it is open in Windows Explorer.

While a move file was download of my browser (mozilla firefox) crashed and the download did not complete putting a partial file on my system.  I tried to open file to enter into competition with my DivX software more player and thought after a short so he received the message that I needed to update the codec files to open.  I have not hurt to open these types of files before and that's when I noticed the size of the file and understood that I didn't have a complete file.  Thus, tried to delete and that's when I get the error message saying that I can't remove it because another program was using in or the file is already open in Windows Explorer.  Can not understand this one.  Stupid me, I copied it and now I have 2 files I can't remove.  Checked in Task Manager thinking I could understand and ceased from Windows Explorer who lost only what was on my desk and I had to restart and hoped by rebooting might solve the problem.  Nothing yet, that is why I am seeking help...

Hello

Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

Method 1 : delete the file in safe mode and check if the problem is solved or not.

Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

 Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)

Method 2 : perform the steps in the article and check if the problem is solved or not.

Why can't I delete a file or a folder?

Hope that helps.

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system.

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    Step 1:

If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista. I'm currently running Vista Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!  Matt

    Matt,

    The 8024200d result code indicates WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
    Update Manager did not install the update because it must be downloaded again.
    Suggest you download and Save the complete stand-alone package of Vista SP1.

    Links to the standalone versions are on this page because you validate that the edition of Vista is x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). You can see the architecture of the system of opening in the Panel and next to the search System system type: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    Before attempting to apply the SP1 please consider this information-

    If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft recommends that you first check Windows Update and install all drivers in option. Read the Articles in the Knowledge Base 948187 and 948343 for more information.

    Suggest you to create a folder on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:\) and name SP1.
    Move the downloaded Service Pack in the newly created folder.
    Disconnect all the devices, printer, external USB hard drive, etc.

    Then, Configure the system starts in a clean condition
    After you restart the worm as a clean boot, apply SP1.

    Hello

    1. is that the copy of windows is enabled?

    2 is the issue limited to the installation of a security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2699988)?

    I suggest to perform the steps in the following article and check.

    Method 1: run the Windows update troubleshooting tool and check.

    The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/

    Method 2: I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and check if Windows update installs successfully.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
