That's interesting LOL.Burn any linux i.e Ubuntu,boot it and by using linux complete operation (empty this folder and do other remains things).You cannot leave this error.

ok, downloading Ubuntu now. At the speed of the download, it's going to take a couple of hours lol

Hi Flavius ! You need a rest from me ! LOL Have a nice weekend and, if it's ok, I'll come back to you on Monday?

Nice weekend for you too .I'll be on Monday on forum too.

Let me just add my two cents here. Flavius your a champ. This sevenforum group is outstanding and few forums have the quality and integrity shown by it's members that this one does ! Keep up the good work all of you and you know who you are !

I second that !!

Good morning Flavius. A miracle has happened! My computer has started to download the updates! I haven't done anything to it since your last instruction but it's just automatically downloading.
