Safely remove not working!

Hello and a happy new year!

I have an VGN-FS285M and for some days now when i plug a usb device and then try to safely remove it,a window pops up telling me that the device can't be removed because an other program has access to the device!

I usually get around this by ending the explorer.exe task and restarting it by going to run in the task manager and typing explorer.

You might also try to debug which program is still using the USB device and that doesn't allow you to safely remove it. You can also check is the USB device is set to safe removal or to optimal performance. Some USB devices aren't compatible with the last one.
