Fred, Mirc is a pretty stable program, I've used it for years. Perhaps the problem
is the a 16-bit app that lingers waiting for a user response (often in the background)
for shutdown. When you try to shutdown, open task manager and look on the applications
tab for a program labelled as "not responding". If there is none, open the tab called
"Processes" start shutting down processes one by one. Also, go to Microsoft's site
and download regclean.exe. you may need to run it three or more times until it no
longer asks to "Fix Errors". Actually, getting a clean system by reloading is usually
harder than fixing W2K.
