laptop/xp/shutdown problem

[Guest onarock]

I have tried to find an answer to this question since early Dec.

 

My laptop (XP) takes forever to shut down.....not the typical shut down

problem....

When i click start, and then click turn off computer.....it can take

anywhere from 5 to 10 min. before the choices of how u want to shut down

appears on the screen........and then it takes quite awhile after you click

on shut down...

 

But, if i unplug my laptop, so it is battery powered, it is

instantaneous......and a little time to shut down after clicking on the shut

down button......

 

why is this......I know this is a big hint as to what the problem is, but i

don't understand it, and can't think of any reason....

 

please help

 

thanx,

 

k

Did you happen to notice that he has NO shutdown problem when

operating on battery power, and only has it when running on AC?

Re: laptop/xp/shutdown problem

 

Yes, i discovered this program in my searches for answers, and installed

it........unfortunately i don't know what it does......i even read the

instructions and tips....

 

does this program just work on its own, and fixes things, or is there a

report or log that i am supposed to read........i tried to find a log, and

couldn't.

 

If it is a work alone program it did not help with my shut down

problem....any other ideas........or maybe if u could explain this other

program to me.....i may not be running it correctly.

 

thanx

Re: laptop/xp/shutdown problem

 

It's a standalone program. Leave it installed. However, for a solution

to your problem we will need to look elsewhere.

 

What is your laptop make and model? How old is it?

PD43 is a troll who has trying to get at me for several weeks now.

 

Your laptop is not one I have encountered before. You may need to

contact a Service Centre:

It's got to be somehow related to how your laptop's power-saving

options operate in either situation. That's the only thing I can think

of that differ in your description of the problem.

 

Has this always been the case or did it start relatively recently?

Re: laptop/xp/shutdown problem

 

atarted early Dec............i will take a look at my power settings.....

Start your computer on battery... check msconfig (Start/Run/msconfig)

to see what is running.

 

Start again on AC and do the same.

 

Are the lists different?

RE: laptop/xp/shutdown problem

 

i found a program that helps me with this problem.....it is a free little gem

called shut down monster.........if u use it......give the developer some

money......he eased my frustration.

 

on a side note, if i unplugged my laptop, the menu to shutdown would come up

quickly, but it still took a long long time to shutdown.
