Can't Quit Onenote

G

Hi,
I've been seeing a very strange behavior with my Onenote of late.
I'm running 2007 and Vista -- everything is a fresh install. I see the
problem on more than one computer.

After Onenote has been running a while (I usually leave it running
for days) it will hang. So I kill it. Vista eventually kills the
window. When I then try to restart Onenote it complains that I don't
have permissions. However, if I look in the process manager I see that
Onenote is still in the process list. I can select it and click
"terminate process" and nothing happens. I can do this with elevetated
privs and it is the same deal. The only thing to do is to reboot (I've
not tried just logging out; I should do that).

All my notbooks are mounted over a UNC path -- so if the network
stack has hung in some strange mode that could be causing this.

Basic steps to reproduce:

1) Run Onenote, leave it running for a very long time.
2) Onenote eventually hangs
3) Kill one note by clicking the "close" "X" button
4) Let Vista close the hung process
5) Inspect the task manager and note that "onenote.exe" is still
listed
6) Select the process and try to terminate it. Nothing happens (not
even an error).

Have to reboot (or maybe logout is good enough) to get it going
again.

Any help or ideas would be great!

Cheers,
Gordon.
