Also, you may want to completely remove FSP (after backing up the appropriate files), so that you have a clean install. Just a
recommendation.

Sorry this problem is mainly done by XP that hold files or if you run Fs9 (but that is obvious?)

my advice:
-reboot your computer
-don't run anything, don't visit FsPassengers folder (XP love to hold files)
-run the installer.

More info: since service pack 2 it seem windows XP love to hold file that were in use at one time during your current session.
mean no one can overwrite them or delete them. The program that hold them is the windows XP
program "Explorer.exe" (your desktop etc etc)

the longer solution but simpler is to reboot. explorer.exe will then release all the files.

the "computer aware" solution:
1-run a dos windows by "window start->run->cmd"
2- bring the task manager with CTL+ALT+DELETE KILL "explorer.exe"
3-in the dos windows (the only one accessable while your desktop is completely shutdown) type "explorer.exe"

You have your desktop back and this explorer.exe release all the files held.

Hope it help ?
