Computer Vista will not "Shut Down"

Why is Vista not 'Shut Down' when we try to? The computer gets to that stage and works on and until what we manually turn off the computer.  When we click on Shut Down, the OS disconnects then goes down at the stop, but isn't.  Anyone facing this problem.  It is found on all 3 computers OS Vista

Also, when updates Windows tries to install computers work for too long at a time in the mode of installation on the same day.
Don't know if they are related.
Thanks for the tips.

Hi jem820,

·         When was the last time it was working fine?

·         Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

·         You receive an error message all in stop or restart the computer?

    Check your system files and possibly do a repair installation if the serious errors of the system cannot be fixed

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-click guest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

  • iMac will not shut down or restart...

    I have an iMac 27 "end 2012, running El Capitan 10.11.5 and since the last update to version, it will not shut down or restart. I tried unplugging the power for about 10 minutes, but that didn't work... any notice or is this just a glitch in the latest update?

    Your office is frozen?   If not, stop or reboot can wait for something to finish - you close all open applications?   Allow you your system to connect to the internet (these pesky background downloads or you are not always aware of synchronization)

    As for hard shutdown - with button / stop

    Have you held in the power button for about 15 seconds to stop hard - otherwise he's asleep.

    After unplugging - press and hold the power button in for 15 seconds to evacuate the power of mac - that can help.

  • Windows 7 will not shut down or restart my computer. I tried all of the suggestions I've seen previously displayed.

    My computer shuts down fine with Vista (64-bit), but not with Windows 7 (Home Ultimate, 64-bit).  It disconnects me and shows the "Stop" screen, access the drive hard as if he does something, but never closes my computer (or monitor) off the coast.  It's the same thing when I'm saying Windows restart my computer.  I always hold the power button to turn off.  Occasionally, the next time I start up, I get a message saying that the computer has been shut down unexpectly, but usually not.  Although I don't think that this issue is damaging physically my computer, it is still an annoying problem.

    So far I have tried:

    -Modification of the settings in my BIOS ACPI.  I don't have the ability to toggle ACPI, only to change between 1 & 3.  I tried them both.

    -Method of "Clean boot" Troubleshooting Microsoft.  Even with all non-essential services and startup items disabled, I always have this problem.

    -Disable Windows Fax.  Only one had this problem, and so I thought I would give it a shot.  Not good.

    -Another forum suggested turning off the M-Audio card.  Tasted it.

    -Yet another forum suggested changing "power settings" in the device to the IEEE Bus controller Manager 1394, allowing the computer stop the computer, or something in this sense.  I see no option anywhere to change the power settings.

    Suggestions of new, I can add to the list?

    After reading a lot on the forums and tried almost everything, patches, disabeling energy efficient features on IEEE 1394 and usb. He hit me, everything indicates that the acpi on the motherboard and the table mps. Changing from 1.4 to 1.1 in the bios MPS table solves the problem and win 7 shutsdown correctly

  • New laptop will not shut down or restart completely

    I have very recently (last week) got a new laptop Acer Aspire E 15 Touch, but I can't seem to stop or restart it.
    The first time I stopped it it close normally, but since I closed it down to do updates (110) there will be no more.

    I'm going to stop it and it just sits on the "shutting down" screen for hours - the same with restart.

    I just had to hold the power key to close it (when it is not closed) or just put on sleep.

    Thank you.

    If you are not able to stop or restart the computer normally due to problems with the Windows updates, you can run the Windows Update Troubleshooter from the following link and check if this is useful:

  • Windows 7 will not shut down or restart

    Hi guys, basically for the 3 days since my computer won't shut down or restart. I normally turn off every night and I've never had this problem before. I used the tool to update window update, but it says that it cannot complete the installation until I restart, but obviously I can't do that either.

    I tried to change the power does-that is to say buttons when the laptop closed = stop down. But even that won't work.

    Anyone has any ideas that could help me solve this problem?

    Thank you.

  • Computer Vista will not print to Deskjet 930c on home network

    Our three computers (Vista is A, B, and C are XP) are connected to a wired network of private home.  Computer A has a Canon printer that is shared and all 3 computers can print to that very well.  Recently, we re-gasket a printer HP DeskJet 930C to computer B (via USB) and shared.  Computers, B and C can be printed on the HP very well.

    But, even if A computer can see the printer, it will not print.  He seems to accept the print command and sometimes a dialog box flashes on and so quickly as it cannot be read, but nothing prints.

    I worked through the Microsoft article "File and sharing printers in Windows Vista" at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx#mainSection and you don't see anything that solves the problem.  I ran the doctor of printing & scanning HP and who wrote the 930C is installed but not connected.  According to the website of HP, Vista has the correct driver.  I have uninstalled and installed the printer from computer A, but it still does not work.

    So I called HP Support, and they said that I had done all the right things, and "it must be a registry problem.  This seems unlikely to me, and I don't know where to look in the registry.

    Any ideas or solutions?

    Hello

    Windows XP sharing can be done automatically in XP or operating systems, XP does not host the drivers for the newer Vista operating systems and so you will have problems with some models.

    To manually add the shared printer, follow these steps:

    1. install the printer locally in following second method: connecting the cable in parallel below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01655752

    2. go into your PC host (computer B), right click my computer and select Properties.

    Find the name of computer on this screen.

    3. go in Control Panel > printers and faxes.

    Right-click on the printer and select Properties.

    Open the tab end hand note the share name

    Note: I would say keeping the name of sharing as simple as possible (e.g., 930C)

    4. go to your Vista machine and open Control Panel > printers.

    Click with the right button on the 930c configured in step 1 and select Properties.

    Open the Ports tab.

    Click Add a new port.

    In this list, select Local Port.

    Set the local port in the form of \\Computer B Name\Printer share name (for example \\PC-P\930c).

    Confirm the changes and check any change.

    If you have still any question, I would say that the printer is connected to the Vista machine, then share it with the XP PC and check for any changes that should run more easily from my experience.

    Original title: corrupted vista OS?

    My Dell studio slim desktop (Vista OS) that I have since Mar09 died on me 2 weeks back and I can't it start and it will keep rebooting until it resembles the wide long beep (as if a deceased person)

    Whenever my com has restarted, it shows the following:

    Safe mode

    Safe mode with networking

    Safe mode with command prompt

    Last known good configuration (Advanced)

    Start Windows normally

    All options will be led to the recovery of my com & return the same screen.

    It will always get stuck at the loading bar where the com starts boot & restarts itself.

    I tried to attach the hard drive to a different com as external hard drive, but it will begin to restart that com & hang the CMO as well

    I tried using the disc to reinstall OS from DELL and it will show a msg of error (blue screen) with the following text:

    Disable or uninstall the antivirus, Defrag disk or backup utilities. Check the configuration of the hard disk & check for any updated drivers.

    Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    Thank you

    Hi Bill,

    I forgot to include some info as well... I replaced the 'touched' hardisk (Barracuda 500 GB) to an unused a (Barracuda 160 GB) and the problems disappeared. Whenever I change back the 500 GB in the com, the sound signal occurs only backwards the system continues the reopening for abt... 10 + times?

    "My Office studio slim (Vista OS) Dell I have since Mar09 died on me 2 weeks back and I can't it start, and he'll keep rebooting until it seems a beep long-lasting looks not (as if someone died).

    So the questions are now fixed, unless you put the other disk hard?

    Test the other hard drive.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

    And run the F12 as I advised you to do so.

    It is DELL's Diagnostics software.

    Good luck with it.
