Webuser Forums: unable to shut down

Fortunately I don't often have problems shutting down, despite having Zone Alarm, and if I do, holding the power button works eventually, then it's back to Scandisk.

I did once try to uninstall Zone Alarm though, and that caused a few problems. I'd just upgraded and decided I preferred the earlier version, but the latest one wouldn't uninstall and the old one wouldn't reinstall. Something to do with "True Vector" something or other. Seems it had made some sort of irreversible changes.

I was lucky. At that time I had a Drive Image backup on another partition, so was able to get myself out of trouble without having to go all the way back to the original setup, but I'd only recently updated the backup, so was stuck with the current version of ZA, which I've since learned to live with.

Regarding your latest point, Blackpool, see if this one finds it's way to your inbox. Perhaps the reason you're getting your own posting back is that you've posted something as an addition to your previous message, so the site thinks the new message is a reply to the earlier one. Hope that makes sense.
