Alright, so I'm running Win2k Pro, SP4.
These last few days lot of programs have been freezing. The strange part is that when I try to end them through task manager, it gives me an error message.
Quote:
Error
This program cannot be closed. If it is being debugged, please resume it or close the debugger first.

Huh?
I do virus scans weekly or so, along with the usual spyware and whatnot, and I'm clean there. My Windows is up to date.
And THEN once one program does it, everything else seems to want to do it, too. If one thing freezes, everything NEW that I do will also freeze and refuse to close. Programs that were already open remain functional.
THEN, when I try to shut down or reboot, it won't let me. It just doesn't say anything, and it won't shut down. If I try to open any new programs after I've told it to shut down, it says something along the lines of "Cannot open program, system shutting down."
I have to manually reset it using the reset button on my case.
So... any ideas wtf?
Note: I just tried googling the message, but that froze
Oh, and I forgot to add: when this happens, after I reset all my cookies are gone. Hmm...
