Mal
Subj line pretty much says it all.. I can get users to
login but, but the logout does not work with either ctrl-
alt-del - logout or start button - logout..Any suggestion
appreciated

What happens when they try?
Got a domain? Group policies in use? Can administrators do this
successfully?

nothing at all happens.. the machine just sits there and
does nothing.. No Domain .. Windows 2000 OS. No policies
in effect and no as the administrator I can't log out
either..

Anything in your event logs?
Is Windows patched with all critical updates?
Got good antivirus, a good firewall, run anti-spyware apps such as
AdAware/Spybot?

Did this just start all of the sudden on all computers?? Did you apply any security
templates or such? Does logoff or shutdown -l work at the command line? I would try
booting into safe mode to see if it makes any difference and if it does you have an
issue with a startup application/service/driver. Also use Task Manager to shut down
running programs first to see if it helps. --- Steve

Its just one computer that we are using as an internet
machine. Its a brand new install. I'll try shutting down
from the command line.
