- I had a problem logging off NT today. I went to the Program Mgr and selected
- Logoff. On the dialog I clicked on Shut Down and hit OK. A lot of icons
- dissappeared, but one MSDOS prompt window stayed and then the logoff dialog
- went blank. Nothing happened. Then I used the task manager to kill the
- logoff dialog. I found that I could not kill the window with the MSDOS
- prompt. The program manager was still there so I tried Pview. It didn't list
- the DOS prompt window. The task manager DID show that window, but 'End Task'
- just maximized it, instead of killing it.
-
- Following all this I tried the logoff window again several times. Each time
- the disk would make some noises, but the logoff dialog just disappeared and
- nothing happened. I was trapped in NT limbo!! Further experimentation
- convinced me that things were not responding to mouse input correctly (icons
- dissappear when I click on them, minmizing the program mgr does not clear it
- from the screen,etc.).
-
- Then I tried doing an 'End task' on the program mgr. That just left a mess
- of half painted windows. Ctrl-Alt-Del did nothing (is it supposed to
- reboot with that?). The only thing left was the reset button.
-
- Anyone else experienced anything like this?
