I was downloading a demo at this website:

http://www.trygames.com/game/aff=zzmark_goo_gam/vid=57264f38eeec1f52e9ef0936e561a703

I clicked "Download Free Trial" but I didnt read that it said click "Run" not "Save". Well I didnt click run. Then it must have downloaded the download manager thing. Well I clicked it and let the trial download. After it was done I installed it.

After that I tried to delete the Download Manager thingy, but I couldnt. It always pops up and says:

Can not delete 18WheelsHaulin-dm: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.

Well I dont know what program its running from...

Help?

thanks!:goodjob:

Restart the computer then try deleting the file.

^^^ If that doesn't work, use Killbox

type in the path to the file, check "delete on restart", and click delete.

Hi

You can use program called unlocker to delete all files. It works fine with me, maybe it will onto yours too

thanks

Don't install anything.

Just do this.
