Download help

I downloaded a file (RS253 Data sheet) from the tubes forum under post "RS253 giant SE monoblock (Chinese)" posted by dhaen. I cannot delete the file & whenever I scroll through my files in "My Documents" & arrive at this file, the computer locks up with an error message. Using Windows XP with Firefox.

Try rebooting in safe mode and delete it from there.

Thanks for your reply. Tried safe mode & I get the same deal. When placing the cursor on that file, I get an error message & "my documents" locks up.

Then try the command line.
Something like: del c:\my documents\rs2353.gif
If that doesn’t work, never ever place the cursor on that file again.

Or just chuck the PC in the bin where it belongs, and buy a Mac!

Tried typing several versions of del c:/mydocuments/rs253.gif, etc. & no luck there either + the fact, don't know what I'm doing. Guess the easy way is simply not to open that file anymore.

Never had so many problems until I got XP.

Had to disable Instant Messenger as kept getting crap there all the time & would get a virus every couple months. Installed Firefox & that cleaned up everything until now. Will be very careful about downloads now.

My buddy keeps telling me over & over again to get Linux.

I suppose Mac would be an improvement as well.
