"WMS IDLE Not Responding" when logging off or shutting down

Hello,

I have Windows XP Home edition with two users. I had "Use Fast User
Switching" enabled and started having problems switching from one user to the
other. Now whenever I log off or shut down, I get a "WMS IDLE Not
Responding" and I have to click "End Program every time". I disabled the
switching option and it still persists. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

There is a hotfix for that, try he

That did not work. When I tried to load the patch, I got the following error:

The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service
because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may
update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be
upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.

I do not have Microsoft Communicator 2005 on my PC.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
1. Exit all programs that are running.
2. Right-click the Communicator 2005 icon in the notification area.
3. Click Exit.

There is no Communicator 2005 icon that I can see.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do you have Norton/Symantec AV software installed?

Is Outlook running when you try to shutdown the computer? Look in the
Task Manager's running processes to verify this. Outlook is notorious
for that, it can keep on running even after you exit and close the
application.

I found that going to MSCONFIG and removing NMBgMonitor (which is a Nero
Essentials component) from Startup, removed the WMS Idle failing to
quit. More importantly removing that Nero file from startup, allowed
Windows XP to shutdown ten times faster. I have removed Nero from my
computer and it runs perfectly now. Perhaps only a corrupted file, who
knows, but bye bye WMS Idle.

I had the same problem and had Microsoft working on it to no real avail.
To make a long story short I searched for WMS Idle and came up with
this site and followed a thread when I saw the bgmonitor(?) and
realised I had that on my machine I removed it and to quote the person
with the problem "BYE BYE WMS IDLE". Now being a bit of a computer
gimp I do not know what nero does but think it is something to do with
my DVD writer. If I delete that what should/could I replace it with or
don't I need it at all.

It may be a silly question but my knowledge is very limited.

I will also post this elsewhere in case this thread is closed so don't
be offended.

I just started having that problem with wms, right after I installed a
new sony dvd writer. So I have the same question, how will removing
nmbgmonitor affect the writting process? Any idea? Thanks Bil

nmbgmonitor is definitely a component of nero. it has to do with nero
scout which is indexing pictures, movies etc while the computer is
idle.
as best i can tell disabling nmbgmonitor should not impact anything
else.

for more info see:

Removing nmbgmonitor from startup does not affect any programs in six
months of use including DVD/CD writing. It is a program that remained
after I had uninstalled Nero Essentials.
