Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.....
I have WindowsXP and Office98 and have saved a set of files from CD onto my hard-drive.
Up to a couple of days ago I could open and save the files fine but now all the files are coming up as locked for use by a previous user and are read-only.
This in itself is not the problem, the problem is that when i save the file under a new name to enable me to work in it ansd save, it wont let me delete or move the original file. I have tried everything i can think of (logging out and back in again etc), the files are not marked as 'read-only' in properties....
When I try to delete or move the original file it comes up with a message saying another program or person is using the file so unable to delete.
Any ideas? someone has suggested it may be a clash between XP and office98, or perhaps due to the files being downloaded from cd. HELP!!
