Corrupt Files

[pyrate83]

What if I were to download a movie from Kazaa that played just fine and nothing seemed wrong with it until I went to move it to a new folder. I was then told it was being used by another person or program which was not the case. So what I did was copy it to the folder I wanted to and then deleted the original. Could this have been a corrupt file? If so, should I get the movies off my hard drive and onto a disk so it won't harm my computer or is this really not a big deal?

I appreciate anyone's opinions.

Not a big deal.

If you had of reset your computer and then tried to move the file there shouldn't have been a problem as the program that was using the file shouldn't be anymore.

If the problem still existed then just go into DOS and move the file there.

Ok, thanks for the info. I probably won't worry about it then since my computer is running top-notch!

are you using xp? if so, that is a major problem with xp. it took me a while before i found out how to fix it.

uh. how do you do that? some kinda registry thing right?

or are you going about it by doing an end-task on explorer and then moving it through the task manager thing

Yeah I am running XP, but I went ahead and just moved the movie files to discs that way they are off my hard drive.
