single user mode

I had encounter the problem of setting the database option to single user mode. Everytime, I check the `current activity` or run `sp_who`, I could not see anyone using the specific database(A), but when I go the the database management or use `sp_dboption` to set it to `single user`, the error message said like this all the time, " Attemp to set `database name(A)` to single user mode failed because the usage count is 8(ps. sometime said `7`). Make sure that no other users are currently using this database and rerun checkpoint." So, I had to shut down the server and restart, after I finish some modification on the database(A), I could not set back the database mode to normal either, I had to shut down the server again. Is there any easy way to make the setting work?

Any help or advice would be very appreciated.
