I'd agree with the third party bit. Adobe products don't exit even after
using the shutdown X so I routinely use the 3 finger salute, click on the
windows taskmaster and delete the image name under processes. I find ADCD
has the same problem.

I am running Windows 2000 Pro. It is not usual to have been logged on 3,4,5
months or more as I never shut my machine off except for hardware upgrades.
Last time was when my mouse cord broke and I had to re-boot for my PS-2
mouse while I spliced the cord on my optical.

I use a hell of a lot of the functionality. Wireless networking,
hardwired
networking, card readers, scanners across the network, printers across the
network, interface to automotive ECM's and PCM's, card readers, flash
drives, interface to my weather station that maintains a website of my
local
weather, I can go on if you like..

Works OK for me. If I have problems most all the time they can be traced
back to bad third party software, drivers, or hardware.

If the third parties don't design to specs, then it ain't gonna work as
advertised.

I don't intentionally try to do things to create myself
problems.

Like, try to use the advertised functionality? or the "help" systems?
