I need help removing DosBox installer from my desktop

#1 03 Nov 2005 @ 18:56
I'm having trouble trying to remove DosBox v. 0.63 from my desktop. Everytime I try to delete it, it keeps saying that it's being run by another application, and I even tried removing it in Safe Mode. I don't really know why, but I had to save the link when doing so, so that might be the problem.

I also get an error when I try to install the program:

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:0552 IP:0119 OP:65 63 74 20 61 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application


Thanks for anybody's help.

Hey, the link doesn't work, and I've tried looking around for another site that has it, but it doesn't come up. Can you tell me where that other thread is or give me a copy. Just PM me so I can give you info on how to.

riko,

link works...but you can go to PCWorld.com and search for Force Delete if the link isnt working for you.

Good luck!

Oh, actually, I found that other thread and looked for Unlocker that someone suggested, and it worked fine with that. Thanks for the info though!
