Unable to log off windows
My older computer will not shut down by loging off windows from the start
menu. It just keeps coming back on. I can only shut it off by using the main power source. The button on the pc will turn it on, but will not turn it off. Is this a power button problem? Or a problems in windows? (I have current NORTON antivirus, updated and scanned daily. Thank you for any help. |
Unable to log off windows
I am assuming you are running W98SE and, if so, 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. If the entry does not exist or if it is already marked, MVP Jim Eshelman has general troubleshooting procedures for W95/98/98SE shutdown problems at http://www.aumha.org/a/shutdown.htm and procedures for W98SE in particular at http://www.aumha.org/a/shtdwnse.htm The power button should work--just hold it in until the PC shuts down. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "tcharles" wrote in message ...
