Hi,

I've been getting the message "Problem ejecting USB mass storage device - Cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it" when I try to remove mass storage devices after use (Seagate Freeagent Go 320G, Hitachi 500G, Sandisk Microcruzer disk on key) - this happens sporadically, and at different USBs on the computer. I don't know how to identify what programs might be using the decvices. How can I resolve this problem? What is the best way to remove the devices in this case? Thanks in advance for your help! -- E.
