I will have to look for the post that this detailed description of what happened to you reminded me of--there was something in a somewhat long-ago version where even though it looked as if the CC had finished its task and disconnected from the server, it was still present as if connected. The person reporting found it in a way obscure to me at the time--maybe displayed in some running-processes utility besides the Windows Task Manager. It's very vague in my head, but I know I did not dream that post.

Earlier > versions were fine, after someone at RIT took a look at it. I don't think I have as much as you--512 RAM, 2 printers connected by cable, 6 USB ports. Camera and scanner connect via the USB port as needed. HD--where can I find out what brand it is, this is a custom-built machine and I've forgotten what the builders put in, except that it's 120 GB. I don't know what my graphics card is, either. Oh--and I'm behind a Netgear router. On the tower is a CD drive, a DVD drive, and a floppy drive, as well as the USB ports. Probably it is not hardware related for you. I just wondered if the software that runs the hardware might somehow be entangled in the Windows process of shutting down TB! I'm way over my depth here, fantasizing and speculating. :) >> So far as I know I don't have a fixed IP either. >> Could gmx be part of your internet connection problem? > GMX is not my ISP (but it is my "freemailer"), T-com is and I have had > no trouble I can think of with it.

This is probably not connection or server related at all. It's more likely some remaining glitch in what the Connection Centre does. >> Glad you have a concern for my welfare!
