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
