hi , when i move a file (once in a while not all the time) on a freshly installed xp , it says :cannot access the file , make sure it s not write protected or disk full.... and when i leave the mouse on it , says folder empty?? then i go in the recycle bin and nothin s there either. not only i can t open the recently moved folder anymore but also the data in it is now lost?

i m admin and only user, so i dont think that s the problem, and i only have few software installed. Before, i was on 2000 and never had any problem. I try to change permission by unlockin read only, and it does nt do anything. I tried a software , "unlocker" still can even delete the file. Im really annoyed with this... it s happened a few times already

any help please? thank u

luis.

Hi Luis
This is not a big problem. Even i had such problems.. jus forgot about that file and after some days, after 5 r 7 reboots,I was able to delete that file by moving it to recycle bin.... So don worry about it.
