I am getting a "WMS Idle" window on shutdown (OS is XP
Home SP2). After I hit "End Now," it still takes 5-10
minutes to shutdown. If I try to start Outlook, all
instances will wither hang or not show up at all, and then
will all pop up after I end the WMS Idle task. In Event
Viewer, I get messages indicating one task is trying to
read registry values that another task is still using.
I tried uninstalling the Windows Messenger service and
performing Detect and Repair on Outlook, but it didn't
solve the problem. I ran a NAV,MS Spyware and
Search&Destroy scans and saw no problems.
Does anyone have ideas as to what could be causing this?
