[muglo] Re: Shutdown

Thanks to all for their help!
I had some short time last night to try a couple of things.
1. When I first made accounts in the mini I made a 'blank' account with no
changes (for times like these). When logging into it and trying to shut
down, same problem as my account.
2. When first booting up, coming to the log in accounts screen, I tried
shutting down from it (using the buttons on the bottom), same problem.
3. Opening the Activity Viewer, there are a number of processes listed and
tried quitting the ones I recognized and that have been added, same problem.
I have not yet tried other MUGLO suggestions (ie - boot disc repairs), will
have some time Wednesday night.
What is curious to me is that there is no spinning grey 'ball' near the
bottom of the screen when shutting down (as there is at start up).
I have a feeling I made need to bite the bullet and do a clean install - not
fun after getting it all set up.
Would AppleCare be any help?
