I'm hoping that this is not a file corruption problem. I'm trying to uninstall a Real Player program listed in my Install/Uninstall List. I see a progress bar to about 37% and then I get an uninstallation error saying: "could not delete the file C:\windows\system\RA3228_8.dll. The file is being used by another application.Please close all apps that use this file and try again." I had nothing else open or running or in my tray or even in the Close Program window except explorer at the time. What to do? BTW, I ran a QuickClean of my register to see if this file would appear in the list of registry files that would be "cleaned" from my register by QuickClean but it wasn't among the many files listed. Thanks for any help.
