Ok, I am having a stupid simple problem with Windows, and being a Mac user (running Windows in emulation) I don't know how to fix it.

All I want to do is use the FIME editor. In order to do this you need to copy the file Oleaut32.dll to Windows/System.

My problem is this: the file already exists in my Windows/System directory, but it is outdated and FIME can't be run with it. However Windows will not let me replace the old file with the new one because 'it is in use'. I cannot delete, move, or replace the file with the new one. HOW CAN I DO THIS?? (Deleting in DOS doesn't work.)
 
Try starting windows in the safe mode and deleting the file. Alternatively make a windows startup disk and boot up the computer with the disk. You should be able to delete the file if you do that.
