notebook with XP Pro installed on it. Every time I go to shut down the machine I get a message "End Program - Sample", a timeline runs down with the options of http://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/shutdown-error-program-sample-not-responding.91760/ ending the program or cancelling. If I don't select the end option the computer hangs on an end program screen. I have contacted Dell and, after being on hold for 40 mins, was alledged that I had a virus on the machine (Win32/Nimda.E Worm). I run Nortons Anti Virus and downloaded the latest Nimda removal tool which advised that I do not have the virus on my machine. I run only a few end program software applications as follows: - A I Roboform - Mr. Mirror - Dreamweaver - Nortons Anti Virus - Casio PhotoLoader - Electronic Commerce Interface (Australian Taxation Dept software) - MS Office XP I will try and raise this issue again with Dell in their support pages. Any help greatly appreciated.
