I'm new to XAMPP and would like some advice on a problem I'm experiencing when trying to logoff or shutdown Windows XP SP3.
I've searched this forum and couldn't find any mention of this problem.
When logoff or shutdown then Windows hangs and the Windows System event log shows error 1073.
The problem only occurs when the XAMPP control panel is present in the Windows task bar notification area (lower right corner of the screen near the date/time).
I've tried XAMPP versions 1.7.4 and 1.7.7 and both have the same issue.
If I close down the XAMPP control panel by clicking its Exit button then logoff or shutdown executes correctly.
If I neglect/forget to use the Exit button then it's necessary to CTRL/ALT/DELETE then CTRL/click 'Shut Down...' button or power off the computer.
Shouldn't logoff or shutdown cause the XAMPP control panel to automatically exit/terminate like every other Windows application does?
