I downloaded this video (no not porno) that screws all the memory when played, or even when I try tp rename it (it wont let me). I can't delete it, even after restart (it says it's being used..)
anyone might have an idea of what's going on?

Try delete it using the command promt... (type command in run, or find it in the start menu). Browse to your file and write "del filename"...

If you're running any form of Windows after 2k, the programmers put in this feature that will preview the video in the filebrowser via windows media player. They might have fixed it since then in the form of a patch for either windows or wmp, but what I would do is create a text file and delete them both together, as wmp can't preview two files at a time.

restart your computer.
If windows does not load up, you have a virus. if it does, you can delete the movie now.
see what happens when you don't download porn

i have that, it's fine for me.
probably the size of it + maybe it was corrupted, so windows went berzerk
i really hate the preview option though sometimes it's useful. is there a way to turn it off?

Anytime, I'd do a virus scan as well to be safe though.
