On the last stage I got to 'delete repository' but the message ' cannot delete INDEX.BTR. It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that may be using this file and try again' but I don't seem to be running any other programs at the time. Any idea's on my next move?

Look for Find in the upper File menus. Type Threatfire in the search Box. If you find any Registry entry's you are sure are just to that Program, delete them, and see if that does anything.

I'll shut the PC down for the night and try again tomorrow. Thanks Steve, John On Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 4:02 pm, Steve wrote: >Type Regedit in the Run Box.
