Thane,
I will now try your suggestion. The SysInternals business is just too
tough for a 'user' use and comprehend.
Thanks.
ATM, when my USB devices get hung up and do NOT 'gracefully' uncouple, yes,
I just de-couple them per Forc5's advice.
I hope that WinXP sorts my BAD out.
Yes, I do know what I have installed ?recently?.
Gonna go look at the 'new' installs a bit deeper now!
Best,
Duncan

under xp there is also a stand alone program that detects open file
handles
and offers to close them for you. I forget the name of the program
since it
does not work under vista and windows 7.
There is something for this (untested by me) about halfway down the page.
