-- Content-type: text/plain Dear all ! I have observed a similar behahiour, on my Windows 7 machines - I remember that I changed my directory and file access rights within the file system to "full access" and then the problem was gone, but I am not sure whether this can solve your problems, too...

I made a small change, saved the file, quit BlackBox, used the file for simulations with another program, and then I wanted to delete the file. I could not. WinXP was informing me that the file was in use. The situation persisted for a few days, until I rebooted Windows. I have no idea why. BB was not running. I checked under Task Manager that BB was not on the process list as a "zombie process", what sometimes happens (anybody knows, why?). This kind of strange behavior happened a few times in the past. I want to say that a problem like yours occur under XP. I have not seen any pattern why and when it happens.
