SunK:
Hey, guys, wonder if u can help me out.. I downloaded a free game, but when I'm trying to open it, a little DOS(?) window pops up end tells me: "program too big to fit in memory". On top of everything, when I'm trying to delete the bloody thing it tells me: "cannot delete: it's being used by another person or program /close any programs that might be using the file and try again". I'm using ctr alt del to see what program is "using" it, but it gets me nowhere... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Absolut:
You could restart in safe mode, and uninstall or delete the program then. Alternatively, you could restore your computer to a time before you downloaded the program. Either way should rid you of the program, but I'm afraid I have no idea what the DOS pop-up is all about.

SunK:
I tried safe mode..doesn't work. How do I "restore computer to a time before I downloaded the program"?

Absolut:
I will assume you have Windows XP. If not, I have no idea how to help you.

Restoring your computer means erasing everything back unto a given point. You could restore to, say, yesterday, and everything you did today would be erased from the computer, including files, settings changes, etc.

Save everything you  want to keep that was made or changed in the past... 3 days, to hard disk. This will ensure you don't delete something important.

Hit your start button, and go to all programs> accessories> system tools> system restore

Follow the on-screen prompts, and pick the date (or closest date) BEFORE you downloaded (and more importantly, installed) the program you're having troubles with. You CAN un-do this change if you need to, but this should get rid of your problem.

SunK:
Thanks a lot!
