no locking handle found

by shortstuff . Updated 20 years, 3 months ago

Hi Guys, I have a customer running 2.2 celeron, 256Mb 60Gb HD,windows XP pro. Yesterday she called to say she couldnt run any programs. Windows boots ok, but the programs wont run and it looks like the icons arnt associated with them. The error message she gets is ‘Unlocker 1.6.1 – No locking handle found.’
Ive checked on here and on the web, and the only thing I can find is a program to actually unlock files etc ( Unlocker 1.81) which I will try today. However, she says she hasnt installed anything recently.
Any ideas what else would cause this? I know you can lock database files etc and other files if more than one account exsists but these are programs. The strange thing is it even does it with programs not resident on the computer, ( from a CD)so you can run anything. Its as though the O/S has been altered. As such I can’t run systems restore either from the menu or program directly.
Any ideas??
many thanks
glenn
