Temp Folder named _ISTMP45.DIR
I somehow got a glitch in my computer. Anyone need a challenge ? Because I have a folder named C:\windows\temp\_ISTMP45.DIR I can't do any updates for maintenance. I can't check for errors on the HD I can't de-fragment the HD I can scandisk for a few seconds but as soon as it gets to this folder it is says file after file is corrupt. I have figured out it is related to the Installation Wizard. Which one I don't know. The Folder is 1.28 GB in size. I have tried 5 different ways to delete it without success. Scandisk From DOS Scandisk Normal Scandisk from Start-up Disc From Explorer From Tmp files Here is an idea of what some of the files look like. AAAAD4a7.TMp AVEQoKKS.Aga AoECa5VF.cAS S1Merm1Y.00K gJk2p/db.372 I have tried to read this & understand....... Hah... to me it's bafflegab! http://www.sqlpass.org/Forums/messag...&threadid=7277 I have downloaded AVG from grisoft for anti-virus info but this procedure even is affected by this folder (not that I expected it wouldn't) . If anyone can help,that would be great. |

When Scandisk tells you that the file is corrupt, you should have an option
to delete it. Do you get this option, and what exactly happens when you choose to delete it? You indicate that the delete doesn't work.
