The well known question is asked (Are you sure etc.).
After clicking on Shutdown, the Windows desktop returns with an empty VA 
window and a Windows error box, saying that VirtualAcornRPC isn't 
working and a solution is being searched (I use the Dutch version of 
W7). After some seconds I'm asked to terminate the program. It's all 
very Windows and nothing surprising (I mean: in comparison with other 
programs that sometimes fail).


> ctrl-alt-delete, Stop Process on VA - what happens?

 From a screen of choices, I click on Start Task Management (or 
something like that - again, I use the Dutch version).
Then the Windows Desktop returns and the rest is as described above.

By the way, if I return to the desktop from VA by clicking Alt-Return, 
and try to quit from there - either by clicking on the close button, or 
choosing Close Window from the task bar, or pressing Alt-F4, then 
nothing happens. The only way to shutdown from there is using 
ctrl-alt-delete.


> Any other routes? what result?

I haven't yet tried to throw the laptop out of the window, although I 
had to suppress the desire from time to time.
However, that had nothing to do with VA, which works absolutely fine, 
except for these tiny little niggles.

Kind regards,
