Ive been searching the forums for 2 hours now, I have had problems with this issue since installing AOM several months ago.

Basically I Run Windows XP, and i have tried everything i know, the folder secruity options are set to "Everyone" and i have checked EVERY box so anyone can access the folder and change files.

Ive NEVER been able to get the file renaming to work, I always get these errors.

"System Error. Code: 5. Access is denied"
and
"System Error. Code: 32. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Some kind of wierd stupid windows glitch?

might be the explorer preview bug that locks up some video files sometimes - solution: don't access the directory with explorer. if this is not it, I have no clue.

if this isn't your problem, see which program is trying to access the file with this utility: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html ... and then kill that program and try again with aom

it IS the explorer bug. very simple to fix. type the following in the "run"

regsvr32 shmedia.dll /u

that will unregister the process responsible for this.
if you feel like enabling for whatever reason again type

regsvr32 shmedia.dll
