I recently began having a problem with W2k that I am not able to shutdown my PC using the Shutdown option in W2k O/S. During the past week that I noticed this I have installed Window Works and thought this may have caused a conflict I uninstalled Works and am still having the problem. In addition I have been using the W2K auto update and have installed SP3. Any idea of what I can do to resolve this?

I had this problem ... and I did suspect that I installed MS Office first then the MS Works. If you did that the same mistake try to uninstall first the MS office and then the MS Works and re-install them back by installing the MS Works first and then the MS Office. After the installation run MMC and add snap-ins for security configuration and analysis and select the compatibilty for workstation ( compatws ). Good luck
