Don't Want to Shut Down

My wife just recently installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 5. If she uses it to work on pictures ,when shutting down I get a pop up that it doesn't want to end. Photoshop doesn't seem to be running but it obviously doing something. How can I tell what the problem is? I don't like it when something hangs like that.

 

Hi Pete. What do you know about this download? Have you used it to correct the same situation I am experiencing? I am just a little apprehensive about running it.

 

Hive cleanup is an MS tool, perfectly safe, use both the x32 and x64 versions without any hitch.

 

Thank you for the help. I can always count on help here.

 

Hey guys , last night on shut down I still got a pop up. This time CTFMON.exe didn't want to end. I have gotten that one quite often also.

 

How do I keep it from starting?

 

Thank you Ron. That looks like a nice program.

 

That CTFMON.exe is a stubborn son of a gun. I removed it from the Start Up program, and it doesn't start up with Windows. But if I open IE SSM pops up saying CTFMON.exe wants to modify the registry. I blocked it ,but it still loaded ,per Task Manager. After I blocked it, IE still opened. How can I keep it from running. Or does IE need it?

 

I have been studying that article. I stll have the question .Does IE need to run CTFMON? I tried to follow the instructions but I have Office 2003 and it doesn't follow what the article says for Office XP.

 

I have Windows XP Pro. with Office 2003 Basic Edition and none of the instructions in that article coincide with my system.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823586 I found this article which seems to deal with my system.

 

Just for information . That second Microsoft article did the trick. [823586]
