Just watched my boys clobber Tebow!!! Super Bowl bound!!!
I'll post this question for all you night owls, then I gotta go to bed!

Had a botched install of Acronis True Image 2012. Didn't make it far enough to register as a program so I could delete it the proper way. I have managed to delete all but 2 files timounter64.dll, and tishell64.dll. The directory is empty otherwise. Windows won't let me delete the files because.. 'they are in use with another program'. I can't find where. Tried taking ownership with the 'takeown' command, but another error comes up precluding that.
They are still in use even in safe mode.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The files don't seem to do anything, just an annoyance....

TIA

I assume by "delete" you mean uninstall?
Try deleting from safe mode.
In normal mode some Acronis services are running.

It wouldn't let me delete them is the 'regular' Safe Mode. I tried Safe Mode Command Line, and it finally let me take them and the unneeded directory out. Thanks for the thought.
