HELP:

	I'm relatively new to dos, and I received the message "Sharing 
	Violation Reading Drive C:" last night. I was having problems
	installing  some  software from a bum floppy, so I copied the 
	floppy to my hard disk (C:\TEMP) and installed it from there.
	
	After I was done with the installation, I went to delete 
	C:\TEMP\*.* . Many files delete fine, but the system stuck on 
	one (kinda large) .exe . I hand deleted all the others, but 
	every time I went after this one I got that "Violation." This 
	is one of those errors that follows with "Abort, Retry or Fail:". 
	When I hit "F", the system said: "fail on INT 24".

	Finally I ran CHKDSK, which didn't help, and rebooted (soft).
	When the system came up I went to delete that .exe and it went
	without complaint.

	My system consists of a 386/25 clone with 125 Mb HD (19ms. IDA
	interface). Is this a *BIG PROBLEM* or is this common? Is the problem
	fixed? Is it even a problem? Please send E-Mail to address below.

	Thanx,
		...steve...
