Hi Bill,

Thank's for the info and keep as posted.

>Hi Sergey
>On my system I have been able to determine that this problem occurs because our network is behind an MS Proxy server and our machines use the Winsock proxy client to access the internet. If I shut down the WSP client and access the internet directly, the CLEAR DLLS executes immediately. Not sure why this is happening or if I can do anything about it. Thanks for the thread ID's, I will attempt to contact the user and see if he is also behind an MS proxy server
