  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.

  Hope this information is useful.

  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

  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

• 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.

  Also tried copying the VMDK to a new location, but I get an error that the "Device or resource busy" I guess something has locked but I can not find it.

  Any ideas... I'm fighting.

  You must use ps - auwwwx | grep VMname on all ESXs.

  Then, you can use kill command (if the virtual machine does not respond).

• Cannot access a file because it is locked (running ESXi)

  I managed to work around this problem by restarting the ESXi host, so it's not critical.

  I had a case where I couldn't start a virtual machine because its files were always locked by a process running on the ESXi host that was running at the origin of the VM.

  I know that with the ordinary ESX hosts, there is a procedure to kill the process that still has the locked files.  However, with ESXi I do not have a console to connect to.

  Not to mention that the computer restarting host physical ESXi, how can you find a process and end it on a locked files VM ESXi host?

  Thank you!

  -Tim

  You do not have to restart the ESXi host, but you will need to use the UNSUPPORTED as Nick shell.  Once you do, you can use ps to find the process and kill to kill the process.  You can enable ssh as well, but who would need to display the console not supported first then edit le/etc/inetd.conf.

  Using Windows 7 or Vista System Restore

  Uncheck the ones you don't want)

  Hi nanditaberi,

  Since when are you facing this problem? What were the changes to the system between the time where everything has worked, and when you noticed the problem?

  This problem may be caused by this security software on the computer, uninstall them might solve the problem.

  Example: AVG, Zone Alarm

  Important:

  O before you uninstall the security software disconnect the computer from the internet. Make sure that the windows firewall is enabled.

  Ø you may need to check with the manufacturer of security software for reinstallation and activation.

  O re - install the security software on the computer.
