JmC,
Thanks for your helpful and detailed info about RNADMIN. Unfortunately, it didn't
work for me. Would you have any other suggestions?
I am having the same problem: getting the "Notification Wnd for RNAdmin" when I
close down. I did your first step and found a folder - but not a file - named rnadmin.
Inside that folder is a file named rnsystem.dat.
I then did your second and third steps. I did not find any mention of "rnadmin"
or "rnsystem.dat" in either place. So, there was nothing to remove or uncheck.
(I went through this whole thing twice - carefully - to make certain that I hadn't
missed it.)
I then tried for a normal shutdown but I still continue to get that message. Is
there anything else I can do? Thanks a lot for any help.
