This problem has persisted thorugh IE5.5 to IE6	Guest (0)

Sometimes it hasnt actually locked, just takes a month of sundays to shutdown, but once its worked its way through it once the problem often just gracefully departs. Othertimes it doesnt and thats when you start threatening it ;-)	Guest (0)

Some programmes hide in the background and don't get the hint that you want to shutdown.	Guest (0)

32246	2002-01-22 04:00:00	There is another diagnostic test you can carry out to see if a program is not shutting down properly, find the startup log file, bootlog.prv. Its a hidden file in in the C:drive root folder. So first of all, if you havent got hidden files showing, double click My Computer, go View - Folder Options - View, and check Show All Files. Open bootlog.prv with Notepad. Towards the bottom should be entries Terminate=Win32, and EndTerminate=Win32. If the EndTerminate=Win32 is missing, it means a program is not shutting down properly. Use the other posted suggestions ie msconfig, or ctrl-alt del to progressively find out which program is causing the problem.	Guest (0)
