Deleting catalog file doesn't help me

Win XP Pro SP3 / Ghost 14  

 

This is my error: 

Error E4BC0012: An interaction with the catalog's database layer failed unexpectedly: sqlite3_step--5: database is locked.

 

I have followed the steps to stopping the service, deleting the catalog file, and restarting the service.  But this approach has not resolved my problem.

 

Please advise.
