I am having trouble formatting (old) floppy disks. I get
a message about programs running - even after a fresh
reboot.
 
Since you singled out (old) floppy disks, does that mean that you can format
new ones? Make sur that when attempt to format the floppy in Windows
Explorer, you are NOT viewing the A: drive, and the C: drive instead. Then
right-click on the A: drive and choose Format. Does that change the
behavior? My only thoughts is that you have some anti-virus software
running that's somehow affecting the floppy.

Can you access floppies that have existing data?
