I recently installed tiger and for some reason from that point on my WMP would not play. It would show up when I searched it as an application but when I cliked on it to open it never did. Then I just figured I was going to get rid of it sinceI could not use it or anything. After I put the application in the trash and tried to delete it and all of its sub-files a blinker came up that said it was "locked." It made me keep pressing continue because of the lock. I literraly must have pressed the bar like a hundred times and nothing ever happened. It just bugs the **** out of me seing it sit then there in my trash. I want to throw it out and be done with it! PLEASE HELP.
Thanks

Press: Option (alt), Command, Shift and Backspace or hold down Option (alt) and choose 'Empty Trash' from the Finder menu. That deletes locked files.

cheers

Crossposting in THREE different forums is NOT the way to get better responses. This is a SOFTWARE issue, and belongs in Applications (one of the three forums you posted in). W-Y's advice is good-but you got the same advice and more in Applications.

Bad user! Don't do that again!
