Re: Unable to log off

MadDog,

You saved my life. I found that "Iolo Macromagic 4.1" was the culprit. I
installed a few days ago to try out how it works.
In the process table, I noticed that Macro.exe is new. When it was removed,
voila!!!!.

So I uninstalled Macromagic. Now, my computer operates in normal fashion.

BTW, you should change your name into "TopDog".
You are the man.

Thanks.

Narusato
