Re: shutting down my pc

Just a thought, since you can replicate this at will, Open Task Manager and review the processes that are running before the shutdown in the working situation, and then again after the "web edit" situation. The "extra" process is the culprit.

I have a problem shutting down my computer after using the internet. If I just work offline, shutdown works OK, but after I have used the internet I exit my homepage and then I disconnect from the WEB. When I then go to shut down my computer I click on the start button, select turn off computer and the egg timer comes up and the pc locks up, i.e. I am unable to do anything. The only way to turn the pc off is by physically switching it off at the mains. My security system is Norton 360 and my homepage is www.orange.co.uk, supplied by orange(wanadoo).
