((KB895953 - Memory Leak in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition )) but this seems related to a pre SP3 update.... we have SP3 installed can I still install this patch?
I searched {6B1....} and found keys relating to "TSFManager". Again little information available.
How can I identify the servers with the long {XXXXXXXXX} keys, and what is tcserver.exe?
Please help,

Upon opening LR I receive a "Server Busy" dialoge box: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." I have no other programs open and when I wait a bit it clears with the 'retry' button. Happened following a recent update. I'd really like this to go away - any ideas?

For me this happens when I have Zenfolio or Facebook open in Google Chrome, even if Google Chrome is not active. If you use Chrome, when the error shows up open Chrome and close each one of the tabs and click on the retry in Lightroom. Also happens if Internet explorer is running with either of these two programs.

When starting I get an error: "This operation cannot be completed because of an internal failure. A secure network communication has not been cleaned up correctly. "

Each time I start up Firefox 4.0b6 I am getting the following error message: "This operation cannot be completed because of an internal failure. A secure network communication has not been cleaned up correctly. ". I run Firefox 3.6 as my standard Firefox browser in paralell.

I cannot open Lightroom. I keep getting the message: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "switch to" to activate the program and correct the problem.

I have used my task manager to check to see if another version was open and that did not help. I've signed in and out of CC, that didn't help. The only thing that works is shutting down my computer and restarting. That only lasts for awhile and if I leave it open too long LR doesn't respond and I have to start all over. This just began doing this in the last few days, a few days before that I updated. I am pretty new to LR so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you.
I did the search feature and did locate the .LOCK file (it actually came up with the .LRCAT file) I deleted it but it didn't work. LR will not open and I keep getting the original message I posted, and the only way I can shut down that screen (none of the options will work) is to go into task manager and shut it down.

The action cannot be completed because the file is open on another program

I experience a weird issue.
I have Windows 2008 server. Created 2 shares on the server. Every day starting between 2 and 7 PM i cannot save or rename files and folders at the root of the share. I have no problem to rename files in sub folders. This issue happens if i trying to rename
file on vie server console, or accessing the share from Windows 7. no issues from Windows XP. the error i get: "the action cannot be completed because the file is open on another program"
I don't have any software running on that server except Backup Exec that runs backup at night. I uninstalled Antivirus, still same issue.
Please help.

Hi,
The folder rename operation fails because thumbcache.dll still has an open handle to the local thumbs.db file and does not currently implement a mechanism to release the handle to the file in a more dynamic and timely fashion.

Cannot delete pdfs - says Action cannot be completed because file open in another program

Please help. I cannot delete any adobe files because get message above. I have tried repairing Adobe Acrobat but does not help.

I have no idea of your Acrobat version. For example, AA9 is currently at 9.5.4. The updates may resolve your problem (Help>Updates). However, you may find you have to not only close Acrobat, but also check the running tasks to be sure it is totally closed. Do not disable AcroTray or you will lose the ability to print to the Adobe PDF printer.

Hi,
This issue may occur when the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders registry key does not contain all of the required data. Specifically, these problems occur if the
AppData string value is missing from this registry key.
NOTE: The \User Shell Folders key also contains a string value called
Local AppDatawhich is different from the value called AppData. The value that causes this problem (if it is missing) is the
AppData value.
To resolve this issue, import the User Shell Folders registry key from a working Windows User Profile.
For more information, please refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2264398
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Steve Fan
TechNet Community Support
I have looked in the registry and Appdata is not missing it has the following value "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming" also Local AppData is there with the following value "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local" i do not have a working machine to import the user shell
folders registry key so any other advice would be useful.
thanks

In order to test what you suggested i created a windows 7 virtual machine installed outlook 2003 however i also get the error on the virtual machine that i have created.

When I try to upgrade to the newer version of Firefox, this is the message I get (I am using OS 10.4.11): The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.

I have recently dropped Earthink as me dial-up provider. I now am using Virgin Mobile Broadband2GO. I was using Safari. I am now using Yahoo! Mail Plus. It suggested I switch to Firefox. I had an older version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and started using it. It suggested I needed to upgrade because many of the newer web sites wouldn't work well on this older version. I downloaded the newer version and proceeded with the installation and it would tell me this: '''The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.''' I have re-downloaded and tried it again two more times. I haven't a clue what that means or what to do about it.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.
You can also do this:

* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Problem installing Skype- This operation cannot be completed...

I'm pretty new to all this mac stuff.
I downloaded skype, I extracted the dmg file and the skype icon attached onto the desktop, however when I try to copy this into the applications folder I get the following error:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
The weird thing is that i've had skype working but can't find anywhere to open it?
I've tried repairing permissions.
Help?

Once a .dmg (disc image) mounts on your Desktop you then need to run the Installer that's on it, or drag the application on it into your /Applications folder.
The icon in the Dock is just an alias (pointer) to the main application and should launch it with a single click.
When installing new applications you need to be logged in with root/owner permissions to write to some folders.
Skype should be sitting in your Applications folder if correctly installed ?
