I shut down my pc, everything is recorded as usual, but the power of the pc is still on. What is happening since last week. I hear the egnine the pc still work while windows xp is turned off.

Hi Volarberg,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. you receive a message so that the closure of the computer?

3. using laptop or desktop?

Method 1

See the link below and run the Fixit tool available, check if it helps.

The problems of power consumption and extend laptop battery life

http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_battery_power_settings

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    In addition to comments of Bruce, likely OE compacted messages and in doing so, he probably wiped out the where they are absent.  Check your Inbox and message store bak files which are backups dbx files prior to compaction (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2).  If you cannot find the bak files, then you will probably use the extract of the service drive of my DBXpress program (see www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/).

  • Unable to restart or shut down Windows when a USB modem is connected to the computer

    When I plug a USB modem, either 3 G or dial-up, my computer will restart or shut down. It complements the normal stop the procedure, but instead of actually put back in power, the screen becomes black and stay like that. After a manual stop, Windows reports that he is recovered from a serious error. I have had this problem since I first installed Windows Vista about half a year ago. When there are no modems connected to the computer, it restarts and stops normally. In addition, printers and USB flash drives appear not to cause to happen.

    No idea how I could solve this problem? Thank you.

    Works fine now. Another bug of Microsoft.

    -Clear the game and the third party soft. OK

    -Restarted several times held close button. Problem unsolved.

    -Time to a game of prior time Machine install. Problem unsolved

  • MacBook Air 5.2 not shut down or restart.

    Hello.

    My MacBook Air 13' with OS 10.11.5 won't close (or restart) - usually. I have had this problem since Yosemite, but don't remember exactly under what version it began.

    To be more precise: current stop, all icons disappear (as usual), but the image of the Office remains active. I can always start other programs is Finder that is affected. Trying to Force Quit Finder does not help. Repeatedly (say 99 / 100 to give a number) it closed normally, but nothing in fact different... Judge without plugging anything if there's a device problem. Saute all automatic connect points. Cleaned cache and preference files dead (using Cocktail).

    What is a way I can follow the Shut Down procedure to see where it falls? Activity monitor?

    Thanks for all advice :-)

    Found the solution in an another tread with (almost) the same Air. Uninstalling the Wacom driver (in my case using AppCleaner) solved the problem. I wasn't the way of editing, since the latest driver for my bamboo tablet was the same version I had installed... (5.3.6-6). maybe a new installation works, but for now, I'm better of without the tablet. Thanks to click!

  • HP Pavilion 6510: Start Menu Shut Down tab always indicates that the updates are available

    The Shut Down on the start menu tab always indicates that there ae updates available.  This persists even after manually searching for and downloading updates.

    Then Microsoft Fixit has been executed, the computer has restarted, and 5 updates have been installed.  But the start menu still indicates that there are updates available.

    This could be the cause?

    How this should be dealt with?

    Is there some updates that aren't installed properly, and if so this could affect the security of the computer?

    Hello

    Go here and download "never 10.

    Run the program. It will turn off the Win 10 forced update.

    Hi angmel,

    What operating system are you using exactly?
    For example if you are using Vista and you press the close button in the start menu it does not turn off, it goes to stand mode only. Before you can use this button for farm star function to change this first in the menu options.
    Check this box!

    In addition, you can also configure the action of closing the cover, button / stop, etc..

  • While Tecra A2 shut downs message appears - TMEEJM_Wnd cannot be closed

    Have a Tecra A2 purchased in March 2005. I reinstalled the system successfully. When I try to shut down the system of windows open one after another with the message: "TMEEJM_Wnd cannot be closed." I have the ability to immediately close or cancel.

    What I do, the message disappears. Then the other window opens with the message: "cannot close WMS Idle". The same orders came. The system shuts down after clicking on 'Close' or 'Cancel '. With the "Systemrecovery" I put the system back. The problem is still there.

    Does anyone have any idea?

    Hello

    I discovered that this service of TMEEJM_Wnd belongs to the Toshiba Mobile Extensions utility.
    A similar problem appears sometimes on my laptop. It s not a portable Extensions Utility but Adobe acrobat reader cannot be closed and the laptop can not stop down.

    I reinstalled adobe und cleaned the registry with CCleaner and since that time, pop does not appear
    I think that if you don't need t Extensions Mobile utility you must either remove the BONE or you can try to reinstall again.

    With regard to the other message: WMS Idle

    Alhajji,
    They suggested to do a factory restore, if a valid step to do.  I know this isn't the most fun thing to do, but if you restore the system failing factory (clean install of the operating system).  Then, run Windows update and update drivers.  At this point, you can install a game and test.  If the problem persists, it would look to be a possible hardware problem with the system.
