Recently I have had trouble shutting down or hibernating Windows XP Home - I
get the message that a Hidden Layered Window is running - would I like to
terminate it - when I say yes if fails to terminate and keeps looping back to
the same question. Solution - switch off and reboot - but it comes back after
a while. Yesterday, after the PC had been connected to internet via broadband
for several hours and had successfully downoaded emails into Outlook 2003
many times - I suddenly found I could not access my email account or the
internet. My ISP diagnostic software indicated first that there was a problem
with the telephone/filter connection then later that there was a problem
between my ADSL Router and the internet. Even other PC's on the network could
not connect to the internet. I checked out all settings and re-booted the
router but this did not slove the problem. Then, in desperation, I tried to
shut down my PC and got the Hidden Layered Windows message again and could
not terminate it or XP. FINAL SOLUTION - switch off and re-boot and after
this all PC's on the network can again access the internet!! DOES ANYONE KNOW
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT? HAVE I FALLEN PREY TO A VIRUS THAT ZONEALARM SECURITY
2005 VERSION 6 CANNOT DETECT?
