8100 shut down problem
I have a Dell 8100 1.4 P4. It works pretty good when I have it on, but I am having trouble shuting it down, when I select shut down, the screen goes black and thats it, I end up having to hold the power button in to get it to shut off, then I get the scan disc every time I start it back up,, I have done everything I know to do, I have closed all programs running except for Explorer and SysTray, I have reinstalled Windows ME. I have defraged my system, I have run scan disc several times.
It runs fine once it is on but I just can't shut it down.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

- Check out you power options in the control panel. On the advanced tab make sure that where it says "When i press the power button on my computer" that it is set to shutdown and not hybernate. Also it could be your Nortons Antivirus that could causing it to hang up.

A great part of the information I have
was aquired by looking up something
and finding something else on the way.
