Hi, Im in the process of re-installing euphoria 2.4, and during the process I am trying to reinstall the ex.exe to pdex.exe so that I can replace it with the registered version. I keep coming across a sharing violation from windows (2k Professional) saying that the file is in use. Im about as 100% sure as I can be that it is not being used by any other process(hidden or otherwise), I have rebooted and still with no results. I also know the file is not corrupt becuase it seems to run programs fine, which is its job. This has happened before as I switched computers or reformatted, or reinstalled. Short of deleting euphoria and reinstalling I have no clue what to try, I was hoping someone might have advice, or better yet that someone has experience with this problem. Thanks in advance Jason Dube

Also, maybe looking in the processes under tha Task Manager to see if there is some process running that uses Euphoria, that somehow did not get completely killed. Later.
