    ExitWindowsEx leaves Activedesktop trashed... why ?

    Hi,
    I have to call ExitWindowsEx with flag EWX_FORCE set in an application. On some machines it was reported to me that the ActiveDesktop was trashed after starting the machine again.

    Some people reported that even the resolution-settings of the display were not correct.

    Does anybody know about this issues and what causes them ? I could reproduce the ActiveDesktop-Issue on one of my machines under Win98 AND Win2000.

    Thanx in advance for your help

    Juergen

    I know the following information is in italian and from an one of USENET more esoteric newsgroups, but the english information in there may provide you with a clue. I cannot gauge the validity of the information though. My italian is a little rusty :-). However, they mention a Microsoft problem report which may have a bearing on your problem. I failed to find it on MSDN though. Hmm?
