SYMPTOMS
========

If you are running AutoCadLT and you have a modified file open, you cannot
restart your computer by clicking Shut Down on the Start menu and then clicking
the Restart The Computer option button. Doing so causes your computer to shut
down, but not to restart.

CAUSE
=====

AutoCadLT cancels the request to shut down so that it can save the modified
file, and then restarts the shutdown process by calling the ExitWindows()
function. The result is a normal shutdown without restarting.

RESOLUTION
==========

Make sure all modified files are closed in AutoCadLT before you restart your
computer.
