Programs sluggish to close

[Suzendee]

I have searched for topics about this problem but keep finding only one
post with no helpful advice. My problem is twofold and may be related.
First, after using any program on my computer when I try to close it out
it seems to pause for several seconds before it will close. Similarly,
when I try to shut down my computer it again pauses for many seconds and
then I receive an "end program" window for McciAsyncEventMgrWnd. I have
a 2 year old Gateway Laptop and I am running XP on it. This problem is
very recent, a few months.

Hello,

Was it recent? Are you able to recall what you did before the problem
occurred?

You can try doing a System Restore in Safe Mode to a earlier point

as I said, it started sometime in the last 6 -8 weeks, and no I do not
know what I may have done. I hadn't added or removed any programs,
downloads, etc. that would have caused it. Yes, I have done a system
restore, several times. I have used "last known good configuration" many
times as well. I don't know if it is related, but I've been having a
re-occuring problem with my wireless network adapter as well.

You have unresponsive processes...Open event viewer & chk for details
that might be listed as the cause..Also,to shutdown those unresponsive
processes at restart,or shutdown,go to run,type:regedit In regedit,expand:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\open desktop.Locate & L.click AutoEndTasks
Go to edit,modify,set to 1 from 0,close out regedit.
