When I try and restart or shutdown, all I`m getting is "Windows is shutting down"! I left it for an hour last night and it still had not shutdown.

Also, when I boot, restart or shutdown, no Microsoft music/jingle??

Any clues??

Cheers

 

Possibly a problem with your ACPI drivers, BIOS settings or maybe even a problem with the Windows install/disc.

Have you tried a reinstall of windows, a scandisk/defrag and checked your system to see if there are any conflcts in the device manager?

How old is the PC?

No, I haven`t yet mate, Just found out form mark_h I`m infected with W32.Supova.B.worm. Don`t know if that will affect it?
I`ll take ur advice.

Steve - dunno, perhaps one of the guys on here who deal with networks, desktop support etc might be able to help more (I work in software development, so am not as clued up on that sort of thing as they would be).

You could always check the Symantec website, in the virus encyclopedia to see what the details of that virus are.

Hi Scoob P1, i have a copy of the shutdown patch if needed.
Get rid of the virus first m8.

 

Cheers Lads,

Steve,

Try enabling APM (Advance Power Managment within Power Options in the Control Panel.

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 310117

Hope this helps

Also, for you sound problem,

Enter the Control Panel and click on Sounds and Audio devices. Select Sounds tab and set you sound scheme to Windows default.
