I am currently up to date on updates for Win XP. All of a sudden I have three Windows update folders on my drive. All three folders contain the same file "Update.exe". I cannot delete these folders/files from my drive because Windows sill has them 'protected'. It says the file(s) may be write protected or still in use. How do I get rid of these folders/files ? Thanks for any info and help.

Saludos y Gracias

("regular operations" is the day-to-day tasks for end users, open folders, subfolders and files). It will be better only in "searches" for files?

Hi, We have 5 Fujitsu-Siemens rx300S4 servers which I have installed 2008 std 32 bit and 64 bit onto (3 TS, 1 Exchange 2007 and 1 Apps). All are randomly hanging with no BSOD and no response from the console or remotely. Fujitsu have had one of the servers in their workshop for two weeks and run numerous tests with no indication as to the fault, the server has not hung once! I've used the online conciege earlier which pointed me to adplus.vbs and the debugger tools, looking at them though I'm not sure if they will help as they seem to be linked to complete crashes or single/muliple process locks rather than complete hangs! I'm open to any ideas, as I'…
