This sounds a lot like the known XP shutdown problem. See the following URL for more information: http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q307274 There is a download available from Microsoft that will fix the problem. I was encountering this issue occasionally and the download fixed it. Regards, Richard Eckman KO4MR Hampton, VA
