| shutting down my pc 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). |

| 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. welshjohn wrote: > I have a problem shutting down my computer after using the internet.

I started up task manager and checked on processes running etc. With internet still connected the processes still running were the following:- ccapp.exe ccSvchst.exe svchost.exe SYSTEM IDLE when I disconnected from the internet ccApp.exe and ccSvchst.exe were still running.

Ccapp.exe and ccSvchst.exe are associated with a Symantec product so it's due to Norton 360. Personally I think you are better off without any of the Norton / Symantec home security products. There are good alternatives that are less resource heavy and less problematic, and some are free. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

| Re: shutting down my pc As Rock said, the "cc" ones are the Norton stuff, I would suspect the Web access has "set" them to doing something and that is interfering with the shutdown. Try killing then and then attempt the shutdown to verify. welshjohn wrote: > Bob thank you for writing in.
