when i want to shut down windows xp pro, nothing happens..the pc does not hang and i can still carry on opening programs and so on.

Have you installed SP2
by eddie11013 - 7/21/06 7:00 AM In reply to: shutdown problems by thebigcookerHave a look at this article from Microsoft. In addition, on xp pro you no longer get "the message saying that windows was not shut down properly, and scandisk does not run".

XP Shutdown Maintance
by Maisie663 - 7/21/06 9:33 AM In reply to: Have you installed SP2 by eddie11013Try start and click help and go to maintance in Windows --you should get a line of items and one of them is Shutting Down and Starting Up. Follow the Directions and you should be good to go...I had same thing happen me just two weeks ago, the tab to shutdown when turned on was checked but I took it off, reset it and rebooted--done fine ever sence...there are alot of troubleshooting helps there and if that don't work, use them and something should work. Good Luck
