You already solved it, so you know that reboot fixes it. If you ever get the "Items in use" complaint when trying to use a file (or delete it), and you can't figure out WHY the item is in use... reboot. It generally means it failed to clear itself properly, and rebooting will cure that. If the complaint comes back after a reboot, then there may be something else going on (try a reboot holding Shift). BUT, the real reason for my reply... if you still have that GIF, can you forward it to me as an attachment? I'd love to poke around in it to see what it is doing. Also, what OS version is this happening with? -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
