| 114313 | 2003-01-16 06:44:00 | Hi. When I try to shut down / restart Windows XP Home on my year old , - AMD Athlon XP 1800MHz - 256 Mb. RAM - 40Gb Hard Drive (18.6 of 37.2 free) - Build 2600, Win XP Home I will get "saving settings", "logging off" and "shutting down", then it hangs in what I call in the "XP blue screen of death" (yep, there's one - scary, huh?) - the hard drive willl whurr for a few sec's then it just dies. I have to restart (using the restart button, using the old three finger stab of CTRL, ALT and DEL donto' worko) then shut down from the logon window. SIGH! - Occasionally, it will work, but most times not!!!!!!!!!!. Why not? Ben : - ) P. S: ALL MY DRIVERS AND DEVICE MANAGER SHOW EVERYTHING IS HAPPY AS LARRY - WHICH POSES THE QUESTION OF HOW HAPPY IS LARRY....HMMMM. THANK YOU! |

| 114314 | 2003-01-16 07:04:00 | benhoffman, This is a known problem with Windows XP. The Service pack (SP1) includes the fix for this issue. I think NZ PC World will have SP1 for Windows XP on their cover disk for February. Or you can use the windows update site. Babe. |
