photo_angel2004 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Hello, Long time lurker first time poster here. I have been using IMGbun with out any problems at all for a while now. Today I ran into somthing I have never seen before: I am under the understanding that some other program may have a lock on this. What other programs could cause this problem? Just thought it was strang. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvofl10 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 usually "packet writing" software , like InCD . mainly programs that let you drag and drop to your burner drive in windows explorer. have you installed any new writing progs recently ?, like nero packet writers put a lock on a drive, hence ImgBurn cant lock it exclusivly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo_angel2004 Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 No , nero was installed long before IMGburn was, I also had allother programs closed out. IMGburn was the only thing trying to run. Earlier this Am I was using DVDD. DVDshrink. DVDremake pro and pgcedit. But nothing was running when I got that IMGburn pop up.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Follow what it says in the FAQ, it'll help you figure out which other program is causing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defenestration Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I had this same alert when the Nero Express compilation window was running at the same time. I know you said you didn't have any other app running at the time, so I would guess that one of the previous apps you were running did not release the device lock. In this instance, it's always a good thing to open Task Manager to check the list of processes running to see if one of those apps is still running without the GUI. Terminating/Ending this "rogue" process will usually (but not always) result in the lock being freed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornholio7 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 if it happens again then run sys internals and find out what is hogging your drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
