Hi,

has anyone had this problem before?

- when I try to log off/restart/etc. The process get's as far as the "saving your settings" stage, and stays there forever - untill I use the manual restart button on the outside of my box. (after which the restart process is normal, no problems)

- usualy there are a few programs that windows has to ask me to terminate (not responding dialogue) - namely nvidia something and hidden faxview

- the problem seems to have started when I got ADSL...
also, when the service is poor ("link" LED on modem flashes or goes out) it'll cause the connection to hang - no way to reconnect without restart, even if that LED is back on.

- I'm using XP home with all the latest updates, on a P4 2.44GHz machine with an external USB modem.

- wow - long post.

hope someone can help???
