The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the QB2009 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the QB2009 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QB2009 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
