I run a Windows 2000 server at home for weeks
without any error. Now a message comes out every time I logoff.It look like this:

End Program - Power Meter.

"Ending program please wait.
If you choose to end the program immediately, you will lost any unsave data"
Option is " End Now or Cancel"

I wait and received message

"This program is not responding"

If I choose "End Now", it will logoff normally. If I choose "cancel", it logoff
normally also.

This message makes thinking about an account
policy that I create from MMC console and tested it. It did not work. It may not save as it the message said. But it the acccount policy works when I set it at Domain Security
policy.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm having the exact same problem. I'm not sure if they're related or not, but I've noticed that when I start the computer the spoolsv.exe is hogging all the CPU/utilization.

Thus far my only workaround has been to stop the Print Spooler service and restart it. Then the problem seems to go away, but happens again when I restart :-)

It looks like either some proprietary software has been installed, and not been removed properly, and therefore has left some keys in the registry, or some software has been installed, and in the install, was put in to start as a service. If the file is no longer where it was originally, that could be causing the problem. If you were to go into the services under Control Panel, and remove it, the problem should go away.

This are only my ideas, but it could help.
