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.
