Automatic reboot
My Windows Me hangs now and then during shutdown
and I'm forced to complete shutdown with the powerbutton - it reboots automatically. Are there any ways to avoid this behavior? MB: ASUS A7M266 BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v6.0 ASUS A7M266 ACPI BIOS Revision 1004A |

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? For example have you recently changed your sound card or perhaps installed new video drivers? Some malware especially trojans and commercial parasites can also cause this unwanted behaviour. Have you checked for this possibility? 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 Centre in Windows Me or at the following Microsoft Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/tshoot/ If you can't find the cause of the problem you could always use System Restore to roll your system back to before this problem began, provided that is, that it was not more than a few days ago at most. -- Mike Maltby Rolfie wrote: My Windows Me hangs now and then during shutdown and I'm forced to complete shutdown with the powerbutton - it reboots automatically.
