Hi!

I got a weird problem. I can't delete or rename any exe files generated 
with DJGPP. I'm using Windows 2000 Professional with DJGPP 2.03 
(patchlevel 1, I think that's the fixed one). I used this configuration 
without problems some months ago. The only thing which I think could have 
caused this problem, is that I switched from SP2 to SP4. Is anything like 
this known? The error I get, is that windows can't delete the file because 
it's used by another application. I don't have a virus scanner installed. 
I can delete the files when I go into secured mode with command line 
(Abgesicherter Modus mit Eingabeaufforderung). I can't continue my 
development, because DJGPP tries to delete the exe file before renaming 
the new compiled one. The file itself is usable and copyable to another 
location, but the copy can't be deleted either.

Regards,
Florian Schulze
