Little Things Mean A Lot (Of Hassle)
No reason for posting this, except perhaps to ease the troubled minds of
those of you struggling with shutdown and restart problems. I started having these problems (specifically with 'Restart') just over three years ago. I already had the DFS patch installed, and I tried just about every other method of diagnosing and circumventing the confounded thing - all to no avail. Last week, I bought a new modem. My old one (a Dynamode A360) was on the way out, so I replaced it with a brand-new Thomson SpeedTouch. I'd had the Dynamode installed for...just over three years. Since uninstalling the AmecSA software for the Dynamode, and installing the Thomson software, this ole PC boots to desktop faster, shuts down *much* faster, and (so far, so good) will do a shutdown and restart without any problem. So there you are. The trouble is, of course, that you'd need to go through a few dozen laps of uninstalling stuff to be able to find what might be causing the problem for *you*. Unless by chance you had to replace your modem... :-) -- Regards Nigel Stapley www.judgemental.plus.com reply-to will bounce |
