Shut down errors
Has this always happened or has this just recently started happening in which
case what changes did you make to your system just prior to this problem starting? If scandisk is running each time you boot your system this would suggest that your system is not shutting down correctly - possibly because this is happening too quickly. You can delay shutdown by editing the registry and increasing the value of the DWORD CacheWriteDelay found at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion. This is useful where fast hard disks are used that shutdown before all cached data has been written to them. If you haven't already done so you might want to install the "Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache Package" patch from the Windows Update site (For more details see MS KB 273017 - "ScanDisk Runs Even Though Windows Shut Down Correctly" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=273017). Tracking down shutdown and power-off problems (they differ) can be somewhat difficult but may I suggest that you start by having a look at MS KB 273746 - "How to Troubleshoot Windows Me Shutdown Problems" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=273746) and then move on to Jim Eshelman's pages at http://aumha.org/win4/a/shutdown.htm and http://aumha.org/win4/a/shtdwnme.htm which cover this topic. Hopefully you will find advice there that will help your resolve your problem. The Windows Me Startup and Shutdown Troubleshooting Wizard is located in the Help and Support Center in Windows Me or at the following Microsoft Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/tshoot/ -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Julie wrote: When I start up computer it scans c drive claiming I didn't shut down properly |
