I started downloading a game demo with GetRight, but canceled immediately;
the empty file (warofthering_demo.exe - 0 KB) appears in C:\Documents and
Settings\Daniel\My Documents\Downloads\Games & Demos, and is "0" KB (zero
KB). When I try to delete the file, an error appears and states: "Cannot
delete warofthering_demo.exe. It is in use by another program or person.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.". I've shut
down EVERYTHING but the services absolutely necessary to operate my system,
but it made no difference, the file could not be deleted, renamed, or moved.
There cannot be another program or person using this file - I also restarted
my system to make certain nothing was running, but still got the same error.
I also tried moving, and then renaming the file, but was not allowed to do
either for the same reason - "in use by another program or person..."
If I try to delete the file, the error states: "cannot delete... in use by
another program or person".
If I try to open the file, the error states: "... is not a valid Win32
application".
I also tried re-downloading the file, and it appeared as if this would
work - the window stating: "... file already exists. Would you like to
replace it with..." appeared - I clicked "OK", and the download began and
continued, but at the very end (99%), another variation of the "... is in
use by another program or person" error appeared, and the download could not
be completed.
If anyone can tell me how to remove this file, it would be very much
appreciated. My system specs are listed below - thank you, and have a great
week.
