Hello George,

Did you install any new software, or run any new programs just prior to
this happening?  Also do you have the line "SET
RESTARTOBJECT=STARUPFOLDERSONLY" in your config.sys?  If not I would
suggest adding it.  This tells OS/2 only start what is in the startup
folder and run STARTUP.CMD.  If you do not have this OS/2 will restart
everything that was running when it was shutdown.  Some tasks will not
terminate when OS/2 askes them to, this it what happens when you do
SHUTDOWN.  But OS/2 will kill them when you hit alt-ctl-del.

Good Luck,
John G.
