Dec 6, 2006I have Windows XP and recently when I click on turn off the computer to shut it down or re-boot it sort of slows down and it takes a very long time before it finally shuts down, if at all.

Nov 3, 2007I have Windows XP Media Center Edition and it keeps opening on it's own no matter what I'm doing on my computer at the time.I shut it down and it pops back up again, crashing my game window if i'm in a game at the time.I've left my computer normal while i go afk, then come back and it's popped up again.It does this randomly.I've tried killing the process ehtray.exe in task manager, and I've stopped and disabled all WMC services but nothing works.I don't use the WMC so how can I keep this from opening?This just started recently and I haven't changed anything on my computer.Btw, I've scanned my computer with Symantec Antivirus, Adaware, SpySweeper, & RegClean.

May 24, 2005My friend's computer used to shut down completely when she pressed Start/Shut down, and she was using Windows 98. Now she is using Windows XP Home Ed., a message comes up: "It is now safe to turn off your computer" How can we get rid of that message so that the computer will shut down completely again by itself like it used to?
Is there a setting that we can change somewhere please?She would like to be able to use Start/Shut Down and the computer would shut completely down without any furhter steps.

Apr 4, 2005I've got a Toshiba Satellite A40 laptop. I've had it for a year and haven't had any problems with it, but lately, when I try to shut it down through the start menu, it will shut everything down, log out, go to the welcome screen all like its supposed to. When it gets to the blue welcome screen, however, it will say something along the lines of "Shutting down system (or Windows or something) and it'll just hang there forever. Once I forgot about it and returned in about an hour to find it still stuck in that screen, one that it should only display for a few seconds. I'm clean on the HJT log and virus-free

Oct 18, 2004One of the most common XP topic concerns shut-down or power-down issues. The solution can be as simple as going into Power Options in Control Panel and changing the "When I Press The Power Button" setting to: "shut down" or so complex that it simply can't be identified. Sometimes it's a third party product causing a reboot at Shutdown (ie, Roxio CD 5.0 - and there is a fix). Unquestionably, one of the best sites for coverage of this topic is at AUMHA.ORG. I have taken the liberty of pasting the comprehensive information they provide below. Please take the time to locate your specific problem and read their suggested fix. If you still have questions, then by all means post them in the General Questions Forum.

Jun 26, 2008After being away on holiday i return and ran SpyBot to see if my brother's downloading has put anything unwanted on my computer. It flagged up the usual things so they were removed. However it also started to pop up asking about allowing or denying changes to the registry.
I then started to get an error that meant double clicking on icons did nothing and a terminal error which was found in the microsoft debuger. I've no idea which one though as i ran the fix and thought nothing of it. It then prompted to run a malware sweep which took ages and flagged up 7 malicious files. I followed the instructions for removed and now suspect that this removed something from the registry that i now need.
The issue i now have is that nothing appears to work correctly. Firstly the taskbar disappeared, and while i've got that back the minimised windows sit on the top rather than being inside. Secondly MSOffice products like Excel and Word are showing errors about links and lastly i cannot access the web. I've tried the connection of the latter on another Pc and its all fine. I've looked through the msconfig and cannot see anything untoward.
My next steps are to try and run a 'hijack' log so see what is running by not sure what i'm doing with that and suspect it more what isn't running, eg its been deleted from the start up program.
Cmd Not Working Properly
Jan 16, 2006Hi, I'm using win xp, sp1. When I go to start>run and type in something like cmd to open the dos prompt I see the window come up but it goes away after a second. the same thing happens when i type in regedit. now if I type in cmd.exe or regedit.exe it will work.
Another problem I assume is in the same category is when I get to the dos prompt and try to ping a site it won't do anything just go back to the c: prompt. If i type in ipconfig or do an nslookup it will work tho.
what to do here or what else to try.
Pro Not Load Properly?
Feb 14, 2005I am running Windows XP Pro and it will not load properly. The Windows logo comes up with the progress bar running underneath and it will just stay that way for hours. Nothing ever loads. I have to use the F8 menu and use the "last known good config" to use the system. I have gone into the repair mode and run a chkdsk and fixboot but nothing is helping. I also updated to the latest BIOS just to be sure but the problems stays.

Oct 26, 2008I had the total secure 2009 virus on the computer.I attempted to get rid of it by Smitfraudfix.exe and malwarebytes anti mal-ware software,I followed the instructions and everything appeared to be going ok. I was at the last stage in Smitfraudfix where you restore the trusted zone. The pc appeared to freeze at this point.After about 5 hours, I switched it off and turned it back on.When I turn the computer on, it starts loading windows but then automatically switches off and starts again in this continuous cycle, automatically.If I press f8 during the startup, I can go into safe mode and everything seems to be on the computer.I tried using the xp disk to fix the problem but it says the windows version on the computer is later than the one on the disk.

Mar 31, 2006I have been trying to use the scandisk (CHKDSK) utility and been having some annoying problems.When I go to run CHKDSK (My Computer -- C:/ -- right click -- properties -- tools -- error checking). I check both boxs ("automatically fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"). It then tells me that it needs full access to the drive to complete the task, so it needs to restart and then run on the re-boot. I do this, and when the CHKDSK utility comes up (before the logon screen) it trys to start and then is says "Cannot open disk for direct access" and then just proceeds to normal boot, never completing the task. I have tried re-doing it and re-booting, but the same thing happens over and over. Why is this and how do I fix it? Thank you very much!

Mar 3, 2007recently my computer has been doing some very strange things. occasionally i get a box popping up saying that something has been terminated unexpectedly and the computer will shutdown in 60 seconds, but this is quite rare.
the main problems are having unusual crashes and moments where the computer acts like the monitor cable has been unplugged and then plugged back in. also i am having internet connection issues much more frequently than before, and sometimes my computer just slows down to snail pace or the mouse hangs every few seconds for no apparent reason.
i have searched through my task manager processes and cannot find anything there out of the ordinary. i have tried to run Ad-aware and Spybot but the programs both crash when they try to update, the same thing also happens with AVG antivirus, the computer refuses to let these apps access the internet connection. I do have Sygate Personal Firewall installed and usually it would run at startup but now there is no longer the icon in the system tray, and when I try to boot it up from start menu it too refuses to load. however the process 'Smc.exe' which I understand is part of Sygate Personal Firewall is still running.
As for system specs, I have:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1 gig ram
Geforce 6600 GT AGP
Soundblaster Audigy 2
ASUS motherboard
Windows XP Professional SP1
PS- I did have an idea why the spyware/adware/AV programs won't update, since recently my Sygate Personal Firewall seemed to forget which programs were 'allowed' or 'blocked', and I haven't run any of these programs since then. Now that I cannot access SPF to tell it to allow these programs that could be the reason they won't update. I am still at a loss as to why SPF/AVG do not load up on startup as they used to however.

Computer Not Starting Properly
Oct 6, 2006My PC has been having problems starting.when I switch the computer on is that the screen will flash haphazardly for several seconds (several vertical thin coloured lines) and then go completely blank. I have to press the CPU switch on and off for close to a dozen times before finally the computer will start up properly. A message will then show saying Windows has not successfully started because of (I quote) a "recent hardware or software problem". This morning, an additional message came up and the system went on to perform a disk test. I have a lot of data stored so total system recovery is preferably not an option. Please can someone help & tell me what I need to do???! I am on XP and have a Compaq Presario 6150 desktop.
