| | Hey guys I have another i would like to ask about XP. On my PC Im having this rather annoying problem!! When I want to reboot my computer or log off it just shuts down. It will say "Logging off" and then quickly switch to say "Shutting Down" and then it will turn itself off. I have been having this problem for about a year now and I havent done anything about it yet. Do you have any suggestions about what I should do or why it happens? Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanx again people  |

I had the reverse problem when I first got XP, it restarted instead of turning off. What I did to correct it, I believe was modify the power options. This can be found under the control panel. Make sure the computer is set correctly under the advanced tab. I believe that is how I fixed the situation, but I am not sure. I will look into it for you.

Hi there! I've done a little web-researching for you, and it seems the problem is common, although in varied forms. Do you know if you have Windows XP SP 2? Also, how old is your computer, and what other MS products do you have installed (do you have MS Office)? There seems to be a common problem involving Outlook. If you don't use Outlook, then try messing with the power options, like vizskywalker suggested. Try the "Minimal Power Management" setting. I personally have XP on a 6-month old Fujitsu Lifebook S-series, and everything has worked fine. Although, I got XP Home Edition. Hope this helped!!

As "everydaysushi" said the problem is common. even i had the problem. The problem anoued me so much i formated. if the problem is only new you could try a system restore. when it was a problem for me i restarted by pressing the restart button on the front of my pc which shuts it down and restarts it but you need to close all other programs first otherwise they can get dammedged especialy mediaplayer. I have a custom computer that is just entering its second year.

I do not see that as a problem.... I think win xp does that to everyone and not just you...

QUOTE(overture @ Apr 4 2005, 09:05 AM) i believe that is what is supposed to happen, it happens on every computer that i have used at home and college. Just because It seems to happen to everyone does not mean it is supposed to happen, it means it is a glitch. My computers don't do that for either XP Home or Pro. Try searching the microsoft database for help, and as a temporary fix, see the post on shutdown shortcuts: http://www.astahost.com/Shut-Down-Restart-...File-t3715.htmlViz

Help! Usb Flash Drive
windows doesn't recognize it anymore... (12) So my uncle asks me to format his computer and install windows and stuff. So I did like I do with my
PC every six months. No problems at all, everything was working. So I proceeded to install drivers,
which I had already on my flash drive, a 2GB PNY flash drive. But, for some reason, the usb drive
was not recognized by windows XP on my uncle's PC, and I tried again on another port. No luck. I
was thinking maybe all the usb ports were broken or something... but then I went to my desktop and
proceeded to connect my usb drive to burn the drivers on to a CD. And what&#....

Hard Drive Trouble
Windows crashing (4) Im having a problem with this computer I built, Its an asus board with 2 seagate 80gigs, I install
winXP and it runs fine untill I get a random blue screen error and my CPU rebots, then winXP doesnt

crashes 10 to 30 hours after I install windows. Anyone have any advise on this matt....
Windows XP: System Files & Hard Drive Mess-up
Installation problems from CD too (5) this isnt completly a hardware problem but it is mostly... windows xp was giving me an error message
saying that i had deleted/replaced system files that was requred for windows to run properly and it
needed me to insert my xp upgrade cd to fix problems (upgrade cd is what came with computer -xp pro)
after inserting cd and files started being copied it started popin error messages at me saying that
files can not be found on the cd. figured restarting computer and restarting the setup would fix
it...well, didnt, just created a bigger problem. it would boot into xp pro and....
Dell, Windows, Or Me?
Weird problem with speakers.... (7) Ok, I've had this problem for about a year. I've tried every single configuration offered
by the BIOS, Windows, and even the hardware itself, but my speaker's refuse to be balanced!
Though Windows says they are, I know my speaker's are unbalanced. The right is louder than the
left. I have absolutely no clue what's wrong with it, so here's system specs:
Manufacturer: Dell Model: Dimension 4600 Processor: Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading @ 2.4 Ghz RAM:
512 MB HDD: 111 GB Windows Partition | 9 GB Dell Partition Speakers: Harmon/Kardon Stereo ....
