Strange program not responding at shutdown

[Moonbarker Osbourne]

For a few days now, when I go to shut my comp down after it's been on for a
few hours, I see this "shutting down" window that end up looking like what
you see in the photo seen below that I took with my camera. I tried doing a
start/search/for files or folders/all files and folders for app.b and the
only two files found were hlabapp.box and abapp.box in C:\Program
Files\AIM6\services\addressBookApp\ver1_1_14_1\content

What can I do to fix things so I don't keep getting this at shutdown?

First, READ the text of the screenshot you made.

You tried to shutdown windows and you got this message

"This program is not responding ............."
end task..

and you end task and it shuts down.. Fine, but you don't want that
message.

That message is quite important for finding a solution

Though I guess I ran into it while browsing Kelly's table.

Try this.

You could of course reinstall (uninstall and install) the program
whose directory is AIM6 , is it AOL Instant Messenger?
