How do I delete a dll??? 1

[MikeOliverAZ]

I have a dll from oracle in the system32 directory that doesn't have an entry in the registry, is not opened by any service. I stopped all the services I could and it still shows "access denied...in use".

It is a hangover from oracle 7 called ociw32.dll and is the same name as the current dll in the oracle\bin directory.

I have moved the oracle\bin directory to be in front of the system32 directory but it is still not accessible to delete, but it is loaded in memory and my other code is failing because the dll is out of date.

How do I delete this file?

Thanks,

boot with a floppy disk, and use an application to read/write NTFS disks
(or if you are using FAT, just use a DOS boot disk)
then remove the file

Boy, as an Old timer, I should have thought of that, thanks!!! ;-) It has been so long since I used a floppy, I forgot all about them. Now that I think of it, I have an alternate Windows NT install on that machine and I could obviously use that too. Too much drain bamage!
