Removing -dm.exe - Trymedia’s Download Manager

Removing -dm.exe Download Manager

From DFG -

We get many of our games from a game distribution company called Trymedia (owned by Real Networks) who has relationships with some of the top game companies in the world. Many of Trymedia's games use a download manager to help some of the larger games download successfully. Some users have had trouble removing this download manager from their computers. The file is not harmful but it can be annoying when you can't seem to remove it. Below is a solution from Trymedia:

From TryMedia -

We are aware that a small portion of users who choose to save the download manager instead of selecting "open" from the download dialog are unable delete the *DM.exe file from their desktops or other download location. We are currently working to reproduce the situation in an effort to resolve the issue. Users have reported that trying to delete the file has resulted in an error message that the file is in use by another person or application, even when the file is not currently running.

While we do not yet know the cause of this behavior, we do have a workaround in place to remove the file:

First, remember to always run the Download Manager and never save it. Now, to delete the Download Manager file, follow these instructions:

Very important: Don't try to delete the Download Manager with Windows Explorer or else you'd have to start the process below all over again -

0. Restart your computer.
0. Open the "Start" menu and select "Run".
0. Type "cmd.exe" (without the quotes) in the "Open" field and click "OK".
0. In the command window, type "del " (Again no quotes and don't forget to insert a space after the del).
0. Locate the Download Manager's icon and drag it with the mouse into the command window.
0. Press ENTER. It should delete the Download Manager file right away."
