I've recently been having a problem with my Dell laptop where when I go to
shut down, it occasionally asks me if I'm sure I want to do this, because
someone else is "using this computer." I only have one profile to be logged
into on my computer; my own. I don't know a lot about this sort of thing, and
would like to know if I should be concerned by this message... as well as
what to do about it. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
Some further information:
I am not on my laptop at this time; this is my stepdad's computer, and he
has a separate issue... an error message that started coming up when he had
internet issues a week or so ago, saying: "Windows System Error - There is an
IP address conflict with another system on the network."
Both of these problems came up around the same time... when his internet was
barely working at all, and I was trying to access it as well through
wireless. I don't know if they're connected or not... but it seems these
errors have come up independantly, both on my computer when not using his
wireless, and on his when I'm not.
His internet seems to be working fine now, but I still get the "someone else
is using this computer" message when shutting down occasionally.
Please get back to me if you need more information.
Thank you.
