I want to format my computer. But when I try to this message comes up:

Format can not run because the volume is in use by another process. Format may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume?

Then when I said yes this message came up:

Cannot lock the drive. Volume is still in use.

What does this mean? and how do I fix it so I can format my computer?

I'm currently deciding on which OS I should buy and I've been hyped up for windows media center edition so badly. The only good it would do for me is connect to my xbox 360. Is there any other good uses of it? because that's all I'm thinking. Do you think I should just forget about it and get xp home? What is so special about it? Does it burn CD/DVDs better or something?

I have been using mozillla firefox for the past year and it has worked pretty well, better than IE. But recently i have had problems loading any websites, to fix this i had to shut down and the reboot and firefox would work fine! However now my firefox wont open at all, i have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but that hasnt worked! When i click on the shortcut on my desktop, nothing happens. I also downloaded IE 7, but to my surprise it doesnt work well, IE will close down without a warning! Right now im using IE 7 with out add ons! I also know that there is no problem with my dsl since i can still use my IM!

A while ago my computer was giving me a problem when I tried to get on the internet (it wouldn't let me get on). I found out the problem, My IPX address was screwed up. When I tried to reset it it just went back to the messed up address. So I called Dell and they said it was a softwear problem (so they won't even touch it). So when I went to Format c: it was giving me a problem and wouldn't let me format by drive. Does anyone know how I can get my computer to format?

I am trying to get Championship Manager 00/01 to work on Windows XP. It appears it is not compatible so I have changed selected compatibility to Win 95. Now the program loads but says it does not have enough available system memory to create game. I have changed the Page File virtual memory to 3400mb. I have hard disk space of 198Gb, I am running XP and have a dual processor 2.8 ghz and 2.79 ghz, I can't understand this.

Im really wondering....It seems as if everyone has the top Pc's and OSes, but when it gets right down to it, a lot of people dont have the latest and greatest.......
I you want, put the OS you use at home, school and work....
Also, If you have MS Office, put what version you run here tooo...this is to see if the 'world' is really up to date....

I got a new computer and I need to transfer my photos and music from my old computer. I've never shared the libraries, and I'm hesitant to do so because I really can't loose the stuff, but if it saves me from manually transfering every bitter song and picture, I want to do it. So, what I'm asking, is have you ever done it before, and do you have any advice?
