    File already exists and is protected? File is open?

    Basically make sure you don't have it open, find the file, rename it and try whatever you were doing again

    Looks like a permissions problem.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    routerstats.chm is the combined HTML Help File for routerstats.

    Routerstats is a programme that monitors the performance of the Netgear DG834 router.

    I'd suggest deleting and reinstalling, or upgrade to the latest version.

    You might want to visit the authors site for more help.

    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    and what in the multitude of processes is the OP looking for?
    A fool may give advice but the one who takes it is the bigger fool.
