Any idea on what could cause this on XP?

XP (MCE)on a Dell Dimension C521 with just one user.

I cleaned up my personal stuff a bit, sending a few files to
the recycle bin.

I then went to the recycle bin, looked over the list of
files to be deleted and gave the command to empty the bin.

I got a noise sort of like a drill running and the message:
"Cannot delete Dc1: access is denied", with an [OK?] button.
I clicked OK and the machine played the standard flush music
for clearing the bin, but when the flush stopped the files
still showed in the bin.

I repeated the command to empty the bin, this time hiliting
all the files first.

Same drill noise and message.

I rebooted the computer and repeated the command.
The flush sound played and all the files were deleted.

So, I don't have a problem. Rebooting fixed whatever was
wrong. I am merely curious as to what happened. Any ideas?

I recently installed Magic Jack internet phone but I can't
blame it for doing anything except disabling the ability to
hibernate. It does knock that outof XP.

Thanks for listening.

That's a piece of a spyware. Reboot.

Ah, you did.

I have all sounds off since I find them irritating (to put it
mildly) but I have occasionally noticed similar and bizarre
behavior from the recycle bin in various versions of Windows. I
just blame it on the shitty MS OS's. I wouldn't worry about it.

Do you scandisk and defrag sort of regularly? It is recommended.

More than the single C: partition is also recommended. I had 16
virtual drives on a 40GB drive once and I was very happy with
the setup. Instant access to everything and less than a minute
to defrag ANY partition. Really.

First rule of thumb: Start by undoing the last recently installed hardware
or software and see if it starts working. Be sure to restart between each
action.

Sound suspicious, start with some basics and then fix what's left:

To eliminate questions and guessing, please provide additional
information about your
system.

Click Start, Run and in the box enter:

msinfo32

Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select
All, Copy and then paste
the information back here.

There will be some personal information (like System Name and User
Name), and whatever appears to
be private information to you, just delete it from the pasted
information.

Perform some scans for malicious software, then fix any remaining
issues:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if desired.

No more Hibernate after magicJack? I don't know much about magicJack,
but I do know about Hibernate.

When you MBAM and SAS scans run clean and we have your msinfo32 info,
we should fix Hibernate.
 
You don't read very well. He does NOT have a problem so your post to
delete last hardware or software is confusing to say the least.
