The process cannot access the file 'C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas\Data\FalloutNV.esm' because it is being used by another process.

 

Please make sure the game is not running, geck is not running, etc. Whenever you have two Windows programs trying to access the same file, the second one is always prevented from starting.
