sgtray.exe hangs on logoff

[Jamie]

I am running Windows XP and have set up multiple
usernames on it. I have noticed at times that when a
user logs off the system, the application sgtray.exe has
trouble ending. I have to select "End Now" which is an
abrupt way to end the program. The only other running
application that could have been running at the time is
Norton Anti-virus. I have never had this problem before
when there was only one user set up on the system. A few
weeks ago, I lost the operating system and thought it
must be the hard drive. It has been replaced. Prior to
the crash, the sgtray.exe was hanging alot. I hate to
find out that it was this problem all along with Windows
XP and not my hardware!

Hi Jamie,

Sgtray.exe is from Storage Guard, a systme tray utility from Veritas
software. It's a reminder program, and you should be able to disable it on
the startup tab of msconfig (start/run msconfig.exe).
