• Try to remove a CD image file, get the error message "this action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.

  I am trying to remove a file from CD image (.img) of my office

  When I try to put it in the bin I get the message

  "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program close the file, and then try again"

  First, I checked the obvious things like if the .img file was mounted in a virtual drive - it isn't so I then used LockHunter to find which application is using the file so I can close by the Task Manager.

  Unfortunately LockHunter told me that the file is used by 'System' - which cannot be closed through the TM.

  Any help?

  The problem is that the program that allows you to mount the image always uses the image.  In my case I used the magical disc. Go to the start menu find the magic disk or folder folder, there should be an option to uninstall the magic disc. I tried UN-installing conrtol add and remove programs but it wouldn't let me. You can also click on computer in Start menu and see if the file you want to remove is always mounted (appears as a CD image). In this case that you can click the eject disc hit.

• You try to run Windows auto security updates, error message 0 x 80070424

  When I try to update my Windows security he invites me to ensure that the "automatic updates" is enabled.  It is and when I keep trying to update, I get an error message 0 x 80070424. Cannot find a solution anywhere.

  mgbmama,

  This error 0 x 80070424 means "SERVICE ERROR does NOT EXIST". In other words, the BITS service does not exist somehow.

  It is usually enough to do this: start > run and type

  Regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll

  and press the ENTER key. If this does not resolve the issue:

  Start > run and type in these lines. Press the ENTER key after each one:

  net stop wuauserv

  Regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll

  Regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wups.dll

  Regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll

  Regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\dllcache\wucltui.dll

  Regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll

  Regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll

  Regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll

  net start wuauserv

  Restart Windows, and then go to Windows Update.

  These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

  I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

  If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

  Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

  If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period
