Hi guys

Having trouble deleting files from & ejecting usb sticks. When I try to delete a file I get the message "the action can't be completed because the file is open in windows explorer, close the file & try again" !?. Not had this before & the stick works fine on another PC !.

If I try to eject the stick I get the message "the device is currently in use, close any programs or windows that might be using the device & try again"...of course I've already closed the window !.

I recently upgraded to USB3 with an ad-on card (VIA controller). Device manager is happy & drivers are up to date. Plugging the stick into an old usb2 socket gives exactly the same problems !?.

Thanks in advance...
 
Update....Event viewer shows in reverse time order...

The application \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\explorer.exe with process id 2748 stopped the removal or ejection for the device USB\VID_13FE&PID_5000\07B217070506009A.

The application System with process id 4 stopped the removal or ejection for the device USB\VID_13FE&PID_5000\07B217070506009A.

The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device WpdBusEnumRoot\UMB\2&37c186b&0&STORAGE#VOLUME#_??_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN_&PROD_PATRIOT_MEMORY&REV_PMAP#07B217070506009A&0#.
