HELP- PC with Win ME won't shut down properly
Hi Mike,
The card is a Linksys LNE100TX less than a year old. It was a little strange from the start, because the driver installation instructions said go to the E:\Drivers\Win ME folder, but that didn't exist on the CD. I had to use "oemsetup.inf" originally. Recently I went to their website and found a driver for Win ME and updated to that one. No change in the shutdown problem. In the meantime, I keep losing file fragments. It has me worried, last year this happened and I had to reinstall Win ME and all my software. "Mike M" wrote in message ... Hi Art, Sorry nothing to suggest but well done for finding what was causing the hang-ups. I don't know what network card you are using or how old are the drivers but significant changes were made in this area between Win 98SE and Win Me which could explain the problems if the card is an older one. -- Mike Maltby Art Rice wrote: Mike, Installing the drive cache update didn't help. Also, the delay was already set to 2000. I went through the procedure for troubleshooting shut down problems. When I disable the network card in device manager, the computer shuts down fine. I contacted Linksys support by email and am trying to get a good answer out of them. So far they only suggested removing and re-installing the network card. I did that with no help. They also want me to try the card in another PC. The only other one sort of available is a Pentium 120 with 16 or 32 MB ram running Win 98. Due to the limited RAM, I don't have much confidence in trying that one. I'll post any further news. I might have to go buy a different brand network card and try it. Do you have any other ideas? |
