Since you seem to know what you're doing, I didn't say this the first
time, but *just in case*: you definitely don't want to delete those
files, but if you back them up, delete the originals, and copy them
again to there original names, the should get out of the way. If that
is actually the problem.

Maybe. This reminds me of something. Sounds like you're a little
pressed for disk space, so you might want to set up a common swap
partition so that you don't have to allocate space for a swap file in
you Windoze area. There's a HOWTO on doing that {

} ... slightly tricky, but it worked quite well for me.
