OK, then. You are good now, far as I can see. Good going.

|
| No, no auto-scandisk or forced Safe mode boot.

| | | It's been here since the 5th. Have you got an "OE, Tools
menu,
| | Message
| | | Rule" that misbehaves?
| | |
| | | I don't think so ... I haven't used that feature before.
| |
| | Hmm. Then, all I can think is...
| |
| | (a) Sometimes the server malfunctions, but I haven't seen it
| recently.
| |
| | This is the most likely choice.
|
| Well, OK. (I've lost my memory of when it showed up for me, now,
| anyhow.)

| | | If 100% means no exclamation, then it's not 100% here.
| |
| | Well, I guess I'll wait a bit, as one exclamation point is as
good
| as
| | another. What about Terhune's post? Do you want it? I will only
post
| | such a thing by request ONLY, & notarized!
| |
| | It's 100% (or no exclamation) here now.
| | "System Properties" = "Device Manager" is now clean. Whew!
|
| Yow. Excellent.

| | | | - system does not wait for the user to turn off the
computer
| on
| | "Shut
| | | Down"
| | |
| | | I don't understand. Mine shuts itself off. Then, all I need
do
| is
| | turn
| | | off the monitor & speakers.
| | |
| | | Well, based on the message in the "logos.sys" bitmap:
| | | "It's now safe to turn off your computer."
| | | It sounds like the user is suppose to manually power off
| | | the computer rather than just have the message flash before
| him/her.
| | |
| | | I don't know ... it's no biggy really ...
| |
| | Well, opening them in MSPaint...
| | "Logos.sys" is "It's now safe to turn off your computer".
| | "Logow.sys" is "Windows is shutting down".
| |
| | That's right ... there must be some way (maybe a registry setting
or
| APM) to
| | make the system wait for the user to manually shut down the system
| after
| | displaying the "s"hut down logo ("Logos.sys"). One of my systems
does
| this.
|
| Well... I do recall once/twice seeing LogoS.sys. I wrote them off as
| unusual enough to ignore. Almost ALWAYS it's LogoW.sys, & the
machine
| turns off. That's the way I like it, & I believe it should be.
|
| |
| |
| |
| | Perhaps the change you did with ACPI BIOS did not go all the way
to
| | switch which one gets posted at shutdown.
| |
| | Hmmm ... that's a thought ... I've been looking into
| | "Advanced Power Management support" for the solution.
| |
| | But, I'd be happy to leave well enough alone at this point.
|
| Could be best, let it be, so long as there is no Auto-Scandisk
after.
