Bootlog
Having shutdown problems so after various methods of
trying to find out what the problem is have not got to the stage where it is suggested I create a Bootlog.txt by holding down the Ctrl key whilst starting up until a menu appears to select Bootlog.txt option. Have tried this but although the computer seems to be doing something as it is making different noises when I keep my finger on the Ctrol key, the menu does not pop up and thus cannot create a Bootlog.txt. Can someone tell me why and is there some other way to create this file. Thanks |

Bootlog
Try rapidly tapping the ctrl key. If no luck, try tapping the F8 key. If
still no luck, boot up, run msconfig.exe, advanced button and mark enable startup menu. OK your way out and reboot--the menu will appear. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP, W98 System Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "chrissy" wrote in message ...

Bootlog
Thanks for this, created Bootlog.txt and checked it. From
what I have read on shutdown problems the last line should read EndTerminate=KERNEL. I do not have this line at all, my last line is EndTerminate=User. Could this be the reason why my computer is hanging on shutdown and if so, what can I do to solve it? -----Original Message----- Try rapidly tapping the ctrl key. If no luck, try tapping the F8 key.
