735117 2009-01-05 03:18:00 My R61e (XP Pro, T7300 @2Ghz, 3Gb RAM) has started mis-behaving recently . . . . symptoms:

- After suspending when closing the lid, the fingerprint reader seems disabled, and I have to ctrl-alt-del to log back in
- After suspending, all onboard sound and OSD seems to stop working until I reboot
- When trying to shutdown/restart, XP hangs for a long time at the 'logging you off' screen, and then just shows the blue background screen (not BSOD) with no dialogue box . Sometimes it will shutdown/restart eventually, but usually I have to hard boot it .

I've uninstalled everything I don't need, have run sfc /scannow, and done a scan for spyware/virus's etc .

Any further ideas? I really don't want to have to do a rebuild, but will as a last resort .

735118 2009-01-05 03:20:00 What service pack is installed?

The BIOS up to date?

Its probably a program refusing to quit when you shut down

Or if youre using a Nlite stripped cd, you probably removed something important that XP needs

WHAT did you remove, when you used Nlite?

SP3, and fully up-to-date. Haven't touched the BIOS, but can do if you think it would help?

And my nLite project was run entirely on VM's.

Thinking about it, the problems started after I installed Media Portal 1, and the MySQL database it required (both were removed the following day).

735120 2009-01-05 03:43:00 Hmm I had the same prob with Mediaportal 1 (it loaded ok but crashed more than anything else), when I selected anything

In the end I uninstalled it, but it left 3 of the SQL services behind, so I had to remove them in the registry

Depends if theres a later BIOS than the one you've got and depends what it fixes

Look in event viewer / start / run type eventvwr. See what the errors are under app / system

Are the chipset drivers installed?
