computer glitch.

[Northerner]

Hope this is the correct forum/sub forum.

I have a annoying minor glitch when I turn off my Dell PC (Windows XP).

If the computer is switched off after a relatively short period ( say 1 hour) everything is almost always fine.

If it is switched off after a longer period I normally get a message, in a box, saying:-

"Super Anti Spyware

Program not Responding

End Now-----------------Cancel".

Less often I get the same type of message:-

"McciAsyncEventMgrWnd

Program not Responding

End Now-----------------Cancel".

Usually I wait for around a minute and the PC switches off or I press "Cancel" and the machine switches off but, as before, takes longer than usual to do this.

I realise this is only a very minor problem but can anyone help?

Check your Windows event log for the errors reported.

Microsoft's instructions on how to check the event log in XP

 

Or a Microsoft Support search for Event Log Viewer.

I haven't used XP for a while but I remember a similar problem where some programs wouldn't close properly. I recall it being due to a registry hive problem and solved it by downloading UPHClean from Microsoft. It may not be the same problem as you are encountering but you could try downloading the application:
