Hi Guys,

There is an Icon on the Desktop named as "Device" in the form of Notepad its message is as follows and it creates automatically and after deleting it, it once again creates automatically on the Desktop.

08/11/24 19:21:26 CreateFile FAIL : ModemPort=\\.\SIT_1x_usbmodem ERR:32 ERRMSG:The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

What is actually and how to delete it permanently?

Some application is using it. EVerytime you delete it, it will appear after sometime/next boot. Find out which application is using it and from there close it. You have to discover this from your own

Also run an Anti-Spyware test: http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html

Also are you using TATA Indicom Internet service?

Also you can forcely delete the file:

1. Use DOS (CMD) to delete it

Since your question is "What is it?"

Seems like some program is creating a log file every time it is opened. Maybe it is your modem software.

did u install anything on desktop?

or did u specify any software's output/destination folder as desktop?

Hi guys,
I have been using Tata Indicom Plug-to-Surf to use internet-connection for last few weeks. But since last night i am facing the following problem:

It is getting disconnected within 1-2 minutes of every time i connect.
A note pad file name "Device" has been created on my desktop.
This file contains the following error msg:

CreateFile FAIL : ModemPort=\\.\SIT_1x_usbmodem ERR:32 ERRMSG:The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Please help. my knowledge about computer and related technologies is really less. So i would be really grateful if one of kindly give me some instruction as to how to fix this problem.
thanks!!
