shutdown issue

[Guest Ron Badour]

Any error message and if so, please post it verbatim. Have you tried doing

a ctrl-alt-del and killing any application that is running before shutting

down?

You have a program running 24/7 that is not responding to windows

shutdown. Disable background apps one or two at a time to find out which

one is causing the hangup.

You might edit Msconfig & chk task mgr for running programs/services..

However,even after editing the problem could exist,to have a quick shutdown,

go to run,type:regedit In regedit,expand:HKEY_USERS\Default\Control panel\

Desktop,& double click AutoEndTasks.In the value data field,set to 1 close

out

regedit.Actually this is more of a tweak to xp than a fix,but it will work

as one...

Had a similar issue to this with an IBM Lenovo Thinkpad, it was resolved by

updating to the latest power drivers from them.

Laptop locks during shutdown -- only way to stop is to hold down off

button. Goes thru initial stages, blue screen appears and then freezes.

Re: shutdown issue

 

No errors are shown-- windows gets to screen "windows is shutting down",

but never does. System will shutdown in safe mode -- but not in regular

-- have tried shutting down processes in task manager -- basically even

if I close everything other than system processes -- still hangs.
