Sound problems sorted.

Diane's printer driver sorted.

So I hope I'm not hijacking this thread with another Mac problem (there is a lot of good advice here).

I've downloaded a few files from Sendspace. I save them on the desktop. The contents open OK and transfer into iTunes. But when I try to delete the downloaded file from Desktop, the bloody thing stays there. I can trash the contents, but not the blue folder. Each time, I get the same message:

"Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (Error code -51)."

Does anyone know what this Error message means (or where I can find out), or how to rectify?

I've now got half a dozen empty blue folders on the desktop that I can rename but cannot move them any place other than there, or delete them.

I'm running OS 10.3.9

Thanks

Norman
