Jan, Simple question, but maybe it works. You say that you have the patch downloaded? Do you have it in the correct place? Have you tried rebooting? nightsneak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Robey" <hrstreak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "PCTechTalk" <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2002 7:22 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- The dll from hell | Well here I am, the queen of errors, back again with yet another problem. My PSP has lost a few of it's common functions. Went to PSP trouble shooting & found the answer was in a simple remove a file & download a patch. Two hours on line downloading this patch and the install was aborted with this message: | | file C:windows\system\msvcp60.dll is in use & cannot be installed. Please exit all other applications & retry. | | Well nothing to my knowledge was running but I used EndItAll & tried again. Of course I got the same message. It was suggested that I needed to replace the dll. | Went on line, found the dll, went to put it in, still EndItAll was active, and this is the message I received: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process cannot create c:\windows\system\msvcp60.dll | | OK...who is using it? How can I get it to give it up? More importantly how can I install this dll? | | Please help, my hair is falling out by the handfuls! | Jan To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
