After copying it into the ORTS folder can not delete it until after the next time I have started my computer.

Why not ?

Which OS, Otto? Win7 has a bad habit of latching onto a file when it's trying to generate or figure out if it even can generate a thumbnail image for the file. It will treat the file as locked/in use until you restart or log off/log on again. We've encountered this a few times on computers where I work. There is no specific Microsoft patch to fix it, but it seems to be greatly reduced if everything is brought up-to-date with Windows Update, including all the .Net packages and generic "Update for Windows 7" entries in the "Optional Updates" category.

Hi Eric !

It's WIN-XP SP3 and this file is the only one causing that problem.

On one occasion WIN-XP reported that another program was using it and shutting down everything running, no other program shown running in the Task Manager's Applications, it still would not delete.

Tried it again just now after again unzipping the X.1744 into a temp folder and it let me delete it with the Internet on and off.

Not important, but am just curious !

Just shows that at the moment I got nothing else to do than mess with doing things like that !

I have seen, occasionally, that the menu process continues running after you close it. I have not yet been able to capture why it happens, but the way to fix this is by going to Task Manager, then Processes, and ending "Menu.exe".

Strange, the TS-2013 Railworks.exe also has a habit of doing that occasionally and also has to be manually shut down with the Task Manager.

Nothing to worry about !

Good news, I managed to catch the menu red-handed and fix the bug. It should stop being an issue from X.1753 onwards.

Well done, Sherlock !
