always hangs on shutdown
Every time i go into shutdown the pc just hangs so i have
to switch it off on the tower. Therefore every time i start up it goes through the file check system. But i tried it in safe mode and it shuts down normally and boots up normaly as well. I`ve reformatted the disc and added no further software etc, but the problem is still there.Can anyone help me please. Andy. |

Maybe a Norton AV feature. Try Start Run and enter Msconfig and look under the Startup tab. Un-check un-necessary programs one at a time to find the culprit. You can narrow it down quicker by un-checking several at a time. This just stops them from loading, you can go back and check them. Once you have found the offending program look in it's preferences or options and stop it from loading there. Regards, Bill Watt Computer Help and Information http://home.epix.net/~bwatt/ |
