A friend has asked this ...
I have an old XP laptop, and it seems to take longer than it should for
the shutdown window to show up. I get this hourglass that sits there for a while (couple minutes) before the the shutdown window opens up. Is it just old, or is there a way to get it to shutdown quicker? |

It could be just about anything. There are actually a sillion things that jam up at shutdown. Thus, the following is a simple minded answer, based on just one root cause. This utility, "UPHClean", is a utility created around the WinXP era, that fixed the open hives problem and accelerated shutdown. Later OSes, the function was incorporated into the OS. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/det...p_service.html Typically on WinXP, everything would be fine, the user would install an ATI video driver, and suddenly there was an open registry hive at shutdown and shutdown was slower than before the driver was installed. UPHClean could fix it. But something network-related can get wedged too, so it's not like UPHClean can address them all. Paul |

Paul My wife "pulled the plug" (shut off the power strip) on her XT machine for a decade with no adverse result other than a black screen when she turned it back on and the W/7 machine in my pool bar gets dumped every time it gets turned off. I understand if I was writing to an open file it could be corrupted but the pool bar machine is really just an MP3 player. I know some day I might have a problem but I haven't seen it yet. It does seem shutdown closes all open programs right away and I am not sure what it is doing during that long process afterward. |

David,
it seems to take longer than it should for the shutdown window to show up The shutdown dialog should pop up almost instantly, but the shutdown process itself could take a while (for instance, when trying to reach remote resources - drives on another computer). I've never heard of the popup dialog itself taking a long time to appear though, and no idea (other than wild guesses) to what could be causing it. Regards, Rudy Wieser |

I use common search engines if I have any questions. I looked up cyberstalking, and found this definition: //Cyberstalking: Cyberstalkers often claim that they are just flaming, but newsgroup stalking is more than just dogging someone's posts with flames. This behavior rises to the level of Cyberstalking when someone does it consistently over an extended period of time. Other actions that constitute Cyberstalking include: doing extensive research on the victim's private life and using it to intimidate or harass making threats of continuing online harassment threats to cause harm to someone in "real life" using the internet to engage in activity that is intended to cause harm to someone in "real life" impersonating another person in newsgroups or chat rooms repeatedly lying about someone to the extent that meets the legal definitions of defamation or libel// Sound familiar?
