    Hi all when I shut my m11x down I get a momentaryscreen come up that looks like the one that windows displays when it is forced to shut down a program. The only thing is it happens so fast I cant tell what it is.
    Is there anyway to slow down the shutdown process so I can see what the screen says or is there another way I can see what it is. It isn't really a major problem just an anoyance.

    The screen is just saying that it's waiting for background programs to shut down before proceeding with the shutdown. If it's happening too fast to see then the background programs/services are shutting down quickly. It's really nothing to worry about. If the program/service took longer, the screen would stay up longer. I've seen both versions, long and short. It's perfectly normal.
