I am running win xp home. Have a corrupted windows media file and can not delete it. When I go to delete it, it tells me it cant because it is being used by another person or program. There is only one user set up on my computer. I cant get the properties of this file either. I click on properties and it does nothing. I have tried going into safe mode and deleting it but got the same results. I ran hijackthis and have a clean slate. Also ran AVG 7.0 virus and got nothing on it. If I try and open the file, windows media tries to open it and I get an error and it wont play. Then my whole system starts getting jammed up and cpu runs at 100%. HOW CAN I DELETE THIS BUGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to rename it with no success too.
