The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct- this is happening to random pictures , music and video files.. is there a cure..thank you -- blendedblood ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blendedblood's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/160948.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1278604.htm http://forums.techarena.in

If you don't know how to do this, then read the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421 -- Roy Smith Windows XP Pro SP3

I believe that im following instructions correctly. but im having no luck. is there by any chance anything else you can surgest do you think that it matters that its a external hard drive. -- blendedblood ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blendedblood's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/160948.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1278604.htm http://forums.techarena.in
