[Q] Safely Remove Hardware Never Works
Symptom : When you try to safely remove your iRiver Player using the "Safely Remove Hardware" in the tool tray (in Windows, bottom right) you are often asked to "try later" as the drive is busy
Possible Cause : MusicMatch Jukebox is running in the background
Diagnosis : Search open processes using Task Manager and see if mim.exe is running.
Solution : Uninstall MMJB or stop the process mim.exe before using the safely remove hardware function.
Other Causes : Using Windows Explorer search for each open process identified in task manager and consider if these may be accessing your iRiver. Applications like Virus checkers may be doing this, but normally they will not constantly access the drive and you will succeed in stopping the drive if you try later.
