When you try to stop the stick if you click on the top one (on mine it is USB Mass Storage Device) and that doesn't work then try going down a level and stopping that one. If that fails then go down another level (this one is the last one on mine that says it is Generic volume - (F:) ) If it still won't stop then just wait a little bit and try again. More often than not that will work.
If it still isn't stopping then try shutting down any program that might be accessing your drive. For example if you are typing in a word processor and have saved your work to your drive, and then gone on typing something else save that and shut down your word processor and try stopping your drive again.

You may be running one of the files on the stick. If it thinks it is in use at the moment, it will give you that error.

Scan your stick and the computer for a possible virus infection

I was having major problems with my stick. My girlfriend yanked on it too hard. Neosporin for a week took care of it though.

Quit all processes associated with this device first.
