It's weird. I'm the administrator on this computer, and it's not letting me delete a file. It keeps doing this:
Can someone maybe give me some steps on how to get rid of it? The file isn't being used, as I uninstalled the game it was a part of quite some time ago. |

Some files won't be deleted, even if you're the admin. They're just weird like that. |

PROTIP: Don't ask us. Ask the /g/ board over at 4chan. They actually know what they're talking about, and you'll get a shit load moar replies. |

Get Unlocker. It's free software and you can just unlock a file and you should be able to delete it fine, no matter what. It's quite handy for me in many situations... |

If it's a CD you're deleting it from, make sure it's CD+R and DVD+R.
If you got -R you can't delete files from the CD/DVD. |

I downloaded the game, so no CDs were involved. |

Have you tried Unlocker yet? Tell me what happens when you try it on the file. |

You can't game for shit on a Mac.
And besides, if Windows is frustrating, you really shouldn't be using a computer.
THOSE WHO BUY A PC HAVE ONE ABILITY MAC USERS DON'T:
THE ABILITY TO SHUT THE *crag* UP. |

This. Vista hardly has any real flaws to it. Most can just be deactivated.
And apparently, Windows 7 is more stable than XP. And that says something. |

That is where you're completely wrong. Boot Camp is an application that comes on a Mac, and if you set it up, you can choose how much of your computer you want to run on Windows and how much you want to run on Mac.
tl;dr version: Mac wins, because you can run Windows on it, too, so it becomes a PC.

Who said they're unauthorized or hacks? They're neither, because they're preloaded on to Macs when they're made. They're totally legal because they're loaded on to them by Apple.
