InternetCloseHandle API call does not seem to work right in Win2kPro but
does fine in Win XP pro.

This is related to my previous post "how do i close an app that has no
forms?" but it's sort of a new issue since the OS seems to be the problem.

I've deteremined that the problem seems to be with the OS. I'm running a
fully updated version of Win 2k Pro on one machine and a fully updated
version of XP pro on a new machine. When the InternetCloseHandle is called
it moves to the next line of code right away and goes all the way to the end
of the routines. But as noted in the other post, the exe hangs for up to a
minute and then finally shuts down. In XP the shut down is instantaneous.

Does anyone have any ideas about the differences between XP pro and 2000 pro
that could cuase this? My client is NOT going to upgrade 5000 machines to
XP from 2000. I need a solution within 2000 if there is one.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

THanks,

Keith
