<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have a similar issue but I know that
Suitcase is my culprit. I can see this because Suitcase is the last to
quit and it refuses to do so.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As a test (seeing that you mentioned
Suitcase) try quitting it first then shut down.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If you Mac does what it should then
you can assume that you have an issue something like me. I haven't as yet
dug about to see what I can do to fix it, but I know I need to do a clean
install to fix a number of issues and I was expecting the issue to go away
when I do that.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Anyway, best of luck,</font>

<br><font size=2><tt>Hello again.<br>
<br>
Here is my second problem...<br>
<br>
My ai powerbook won't turn off though the normal methods anymore. This<br>
started a couple of days ago. When ever I push the power button or choose<br>
shut down from the finder whatever applications I have going close but
the<br>
computer stays on and nothing I can do will turn it off accept pushing
the<br>
apple option ctrl shift and power buttons.<br>
<br>
On the day that this started happening I did two things that were maybe
a<br>
cause 1) I deactivated some fonts using Extensis Suitcase 2) downloaded
and<br>
used SolarSeek.<br>
<br>
I don't know if any of the above are relevant but I just thought I would<br>
mention them just in case.<br>
<br>
I have both verified and fixed disk permissions. I did this yesterday but
it<br>
didn't help.<br>
<br>
If anyone has any clues why this is happening and how to fix it please
let<br>
me know. Thanks in advance!<br>
<br>
Alan<br>
