daemon.exe

[west117wolf]

When I go to shut down my computer, I get a message that dameon.exe is closing a program. But at the end it says that program not responding. I cannot then shut down unless I use the button on the computer to shut down. Can someone help me with this issue??

Thanks

Verify it isn't DAEMON.EXE, because if so, this is part of Daemon Tools, an ISO mounting program. If you use this program, you should unmount all unmountable volumes before shutting down to see if this issue goes away.

Tripredacus: Regarding the spelling of the program. It is daemon.exe

Next time, before shutting down, check the Task Manager to see if you see a daemon.exe in there. If so, then go to the Services snap-in for MMC. Or you can see this in Computer Management. See if Daemon is listed there. If it is, change it to manual or disabled, and stop the service. on the next reboot, it shouldn't be running.
