locking files during compiling...

Hi All,

Did somebody have a problem compiling some solution in VS2003? I get the
error every time that some files are locked and are using by another
process. I repeat compiling again and again and finally the compilation can
be finished successfully after several tries. What can be a reason of that?
I turned off my antivirus software, no results. Maybe it's just a bug of the
VS2003? I installed the latest service pack for the Studio from the internet
and it's up-to-date now.

I attach below the little bit shorted message strings about this mistake. I
don't know, maybe the computer is too fast, maybe some other reason... But I
also know that several programmers around me are having these problems in
their PCs

I have no idea yet. So, if somebody has an idea how to solve it please let
me know.

Regards,
Dmitri.

P.S. Originally I get in several times more messages, I just compressed
these strings to insert here.

Dmitri,

I got this error many times in VS .NET 2002. Seems to be a feature of the
IDE and this has nothing to do with anti-virus software. I usually just
re-start the IDE to get rid of this errors.
 
we have this problem as well although restarting the ide doesn't help
the problem is always with a class library project and the solution is to
delete the lib and obj directories for this project and then rebuild the
entire solution

I have a general question to those who have problems with file locking. What
Windows do you use? XP? When I was working under 2000 I didn't know about
these problems at all. When I started to use XP I've got a lot of file
sharing problems during compilation. I suspect that XP has this problem
instead of VS.

Any opinion yet?

Regards,
Dmitri.
