| 154084 | 2003-06-21 22:16:00 | PC Company has to replace my Modem as it was not disconnecting properly. A friend suggested that when I close down the computer I should click on the little black computers first and disconnect before I shut down. Is that right, should I do that first or is it ok to just shut down? |

| 154085 | 2003-06-21 22:20:00 | I always disconnect first before shutting down, and shut down other programs.Otherwise it takes a while to shut down .Usually when in a hurry to get out the door! | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 154086 | 2003-06-21 23:03:00 | It is good practice to close down ALL programs, etc before shutting down your computer and disconnecting your modem is akin to closing down a program. | tommy (2826) | ||
| 154087 | 2003-06-22 01:49:00 | put it like this if you were getting into a car, you would wait till your legs were in the door before shutting it would you not? before you actually drove off? other wise you may hurt your leg and you cannot drive anywhere. this is the same principle close down every program that is in use, otherwise they may have problems and take a long time to close, - to shut down, and when on startup they also may run slow till up and running from being shut down power off in middle of operations from an earlier shut down. but thats just my thinking, beetle |
