Workstation hangs when logging off or shutting down - Windows Server2003

[Guest getfuzed@gmail.com]

We have Windows Server 2003 R2 and multiple workstations all running

XP Pro SP2. After logging into the domain and then trying to log out,

the computer hangs on "Saving your settings". So far this is only

occurring on one computer. If I use a different computer, the system

logs off just fine. Another website recommended Microsoft UPHclean,

but that didn't help. Suggestions are appreciated.

 

Thanks

Anything in the event logs when this happens?

Sorry, but I wouldn't even know where to look for that. I'm the ad hoc

network admin... so to speak.

Open the Control Panel. Look for Administration Tools. Event Viewer is

there.

 

I would suspect the profile. Is it everyone or just you? Are you using

local or roaming profiles? You can right click on "My Computer" and open

the properties and go to the Advanced tab. You should see an option in

the middle that will display all the profiles. You can delete them here.

 

A workaround is to install the UPHCLEAN utility from MS....

 

 

This should get the profiles closed, but doesn't address the basic

problem. If it happens often, you really need to resolve it.

I changed the profile from roaming to local. Whether that's a good

solution or not I don't know, but I can log off now.
