Windows XP Shutdown Issues
Please help....Running XP Home. Since SP2 update am unable to shutdown
computer. Only interrupting the power works. Have tried shutdowns through: Start Menu Task Mgr Tower Power Button CMD Shutdown -s The Shutdown -s started the countdown sequence but did nothing at zero. Thought BIOS might be an issue so bought BIOS Award upgrade yesterday. Loaded without any issues, but did not resolve the problem. Have Googled looking for answers, checked power settings, tried everything I could find without success. Any Ideas? Am an intermediate user, so please keep it simple. Some shutdown issues were present prior to SP2. Start button and tsk mgr would not work but a single press of the tower power button initiated a normal shutdown. Went into the BIOS Power Management Menu, here are the settings: ACPI Function Enabled ACPI Suspend Type S1(POS) Power Management Option User Define HDD Power Down Disable Suspend Mode Disable Video Off Option Suspend - Off Video Off Method Blank Screen Modem Use IRQ 3 Soft Off by PWRBTN Instant-Off AC Loss Auto Restart Off IRQ/Event Activity Detect Press Enter FYI...Other than this issue, computer seems normal. Running NAV and Spyware stuff on a regular basis. Any Ideas? Am an intermediate user, so please keep it simple. Thx |
