As it says, something else is using the file when Cumulus is trying to write to it. Often caused by antivirus software or similar.

Is cumulus running when you are trying to edit the file? you need to stop cumulus first.

On your Windows 7 pc press CTRL SHIFT and ESC together to see task manager and that shows you what processes are running.
http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#I_am_g ... _error_103 mentions some of the processes that you might look for.
If you are still stuck, there is software that claims to help you find out what processes are accessing what files, find it with a search engine, but only you can decide if it is trustworthy enough to install on your pc.

Process Explorer from Sysinternals is very good and allows you to watch each individual process so you can see disk read/writes etc.
