Guest Wally Wombat Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Hi Problem has just started. When I switch off down the computer from the shut down options, the screen closes, but the hard drive continues to run, the system then reboots normally back onto the desktop. It will shut down if I hold the switch in. It does not seem to be related to any change in software. I have checked the usual places for answers but none seem to fit this "simple" problem Any ideas? Thanks in advance Wombat Eats, roots and leaves.
Guest Ron Badour Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: restarts after shutting down Run msconfig.exe, general tab, advanced button. Mark the "Disable fast shutdown" box because it can cause shutdown to work too fast and a reboot is the result.
