    Re: start>shutdown problem

    Instead of ctrl-alt-del shutdown the second time, try start->shutdown the second time. If that works, you may have a program that's hanging when it asked to unload.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
