HELP:
I'm relatively new to dos, and I received the message "Sharing
Violation Reading Drive C:" last night. I was having problems
installing some software from a bum floppy, so I copied the
floppy to my hard disk (C:\TEMP) and installed it from there.
After I was done with the installation, I went to delete
C:\TEMP\*.* . Many files delete fine, but the system stuck on
one (kinda large) .exe . I hand deleted all the others, but
every time I went after this one I got that "Violation." This
is one of those errors that follows with "Abort, Retry or Fail:".
When I hit "F", the system said: "fail on INT 24".
Finally I ran CHKDSK, which didn't help, and rebooted (soft).
When the system came up I went to delete that .exe and it went
without complaint.
My system consists of a 386/25 clone with 125 Mb HD (19ms. IDA
interface). Is this a *BIG PROBLEM* or is this common? Is the problem
fixed? Is it even a problem? Please send E-Mail to address below.
Thanx,
...steve...
