| 8541 | 2001-02-09 21:04:00 | Hi, I just reformated my system and did a clean install of WinME on it. I then installed the latest Nvidia drivers which I downloaded from Nvidia's website. The problem came when I installed LiveWare version 3.0 for WinME. I downloaded it off www.soundblaster.com. The problem I have is when I shutdown my system, it shuts down perfectly. I even get to see 'You Can Now Safely Turn Off Your Computer' sign for just a very short while, then the system powers off...no problem with that. The problem is that no matter how perfectly I shut down the system, whenever I startup WinME, it ALWAYS run Scandisk, the reason behind it is that the system reported a bad shutdown. If I were to restart the system from the 'Start' menu, it never happens. It only happens when I do a system shutdown. I tried flasing the BIOS for the motherboard with the latest version, but it did not help either. Can someone please help me with this problem? Thanks a million in advance. Here's my system specs: *Intel Celeron 733 (default) *128MB RAM *Abit BX133 Motherboard (latest BIOS) *SB Live! Value sound card *Dynalink 56k ISA modem *Realtek 8029AS network card *20gig Maxtor 5400rpm HD *Gigabyte GA-660+ graphics card *50X Diamond Data IDE CDROM *Windows ME (no softwares installed yet except Winzip) |

| 8542 | 2001-02-12 07:56:00 | Hi Edmund, Can't help with why the system is reporting a bad shutdown. Try system restore to a point before loading Live ware and see if that makes a difference. Or alternatively you can turn off scandisk after a bad shutdown. Go start>Run & type msconfig click on ok. On the screen that appears click on advanced and check the box beside disable scandisk after bad shutdown, click apply then ok and reboot. Good luck Billy C. |

| 8543 | 2001-02-12 08:43:00 | Hi, Thanks for the quick response. I found out that it's not a problem with the LiveWare etc. It's because my system is a little bit too fast. What happens is, the system shuts down too fast, and before it even has time to write all the data to the HD, it's been turned off. So you loose more and more data everytime you shut down. Windows detects that problem, so it always starts scandisk. I would think it's not wise to disable scandisk because, what happens if there's actually a real problem? Your computer will never start scandisk to do a check you see. I overcame the problem by going to windowsupdate.microsoft.com and I downloaded a patch that adds a 2 second delay to the shutdown. The results? AMAZING. It actually got rid of that scandisk problem! Ed. |
