LOL ok..so i have to do a presentation for science and im trying to put it into my usb flashdrive and i already accomplished that.
But when i try to eject out the device and go to where it says "Safely Remove Hardware" and I click on it to "Stop" it just says

"The device 'psc 1200 (DOT4PRT)' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it."

so um can anyone help meeeee!!!???

That probably means that you've opened the file from the USB.

And the file is still opened on the program.

Close your program and the file that you've been working on and it should be ok.

nah-uh!

i've put in my presentation into the file and that popped up so i closed up powerpoint but it still said that.

And what i was tryna do is to just "safely remove the hardware"

Well that didn't work so I just pulled it out ahah..i tihnk it still works...

hopefully...will that damage my flashcard if i do that? ahah xD

its ok to do that.. but I mean.. you take risks because you could have electrical discharge when you do that..

Lets put it this way.. Do it only in situations like this
