[Nelson]

I the message "c:\windows\system32\ftp.exe is open or in use by another
application. Close all other applications and than click retry."
How do I find the application?

FTP.EXE is not in use, usually. Therefore, scan your system for malware.
As a workaround, kill that process via the task manager.

Hi Nelson,

My first suggestion would be to scan for viruses/trojans/malware and clean
up any nasties that may be lurking, just as the previous two posters
suggested.

If you still encounter that error message, after having cleaned up your
system, then have a look at this thread:
