Sometimes when I shut down Windows XP - SP3 it just hangs until I pull the power plug.

When I Shutdown Windows XP - SP3 (w/latest updates) it freezes just until I pull the power plug. I had this problem for some time. Before even the latest updates. This could be the cause of this problem?

It happened after doing many different things, so I don't think that a particular program might be causing the problem.

I reinstalled Windows at least twice this year so far and I'm not interested in doing it again.

I imagine stopping by pulling out the plug could cause problems for Windows in the future.

TKOP,

Your problem may be hardware related or associated software. I have seen this with Mcafee installed on workstations and eventually found that memory has caused the problem.
The simplest and the least expensive would be to replace the memory modules and uninstall Mcafee. (you can google must uninstall mcafee to obtain an uninstall program) If this does not help, check the operation of the fans on the unit. If they don't keep the processor cool laptop, they must be replaced. You may be able to check the time of fan in the bios.
You can also check the Windows event log to see if there is any information to software problems.
Worst cases would be the power supply or the motherboard are the cause of the problem, you could get a diagnostic software from the manufacturer of your computer to check maybe it.

Or run it to test your memory on your computer.

  • When I shut down windows I get a message about "compact the message store.

    Whenever I close my email (windows mail), I gives me this message:

    "Windows Mail can compact the message store. This can take up to a few minutes. »

    I gives me two options: 'OK' or 'Cancel '.

    I don't know what that means... and it becomes an annoyance. I have a lot of messages in my mail (which I think is the reason for the message), but I moved most of them into folders. What exactly is "compact the message store" and what it will do to my ability to access messages.

    Thank you

    The database must be corrected at any time and remove the wasted space.   So, after each 100 closures that you get invited to compact the database, which performs this function.  Because messages are stored separately from the database, it has no effect on the messages themselves.  But you need allow the database to be compacted, so that it corrects the offsets and other errors.  Otherwise WinMail may not work properly, so let this compact when it prompts you.  You can also manually compact with my Windows Mail Utility (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) to solve the problems of database, but that will not change the behavior of WinMail invites you after each 100 closures.

    You should always back up your messages frequently, as your hard disk may fail, and you will lose all of them.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm

  • Suggestion: Firefox would not hold up to a shut down windows with a close multiple tab dialog box.

    I didn't know where to send a suggestions, so he posts here. Please redirect it to the appropriate location.

    When I shut down windows and firefox works with several tabs, it pops up a dialog box and prevents the closure of windows. Last Friday, I shut the computer down before leaving work and found that it was still on when I went back to work Monday. Reason - Firefox.

    I prefer computers stop when I am away for an extended period of time to save energy.

    Tools > Options > tabs: [] "warn me when closing multiple tabs".

  • Receives a BSOD BAD_POOL_CALLER 0x0000000C2 error when I shut down the computer.

    Original title: Blue error screen bad pool caller on the shutdown of Windows XP.

    Hi all

    I have a small problem here. Sometimes when I stop my windows, instead of going through close, it just gives an error of BSOD BAD_POOL_CALLER 0x0000000C2.

    Windows XP SP3 THAT starts fine everytime. Works very well, once started. I can connect to the internet, play games, watch movies, run software development and nothing bad happens. But as soon as the stop, sometimes (actually often) the BAD_POOL_CALLER error.

    1. I tried updates of windows xp. Windows is quite up-to-date now.
    2. I tried to update hardware drivers. All the drivers are now updated.

    But still at the stop, I get the BSOD with the bad pool caller.

    Moreover, before any error don't like this used for pop - up. So, I doubt it, if it's a hardware problem. But always welcome one of your suggestions. (Also, I have an another operating system installed and no error like this pop up on this side!)

    I tried to search the Internet, even asked people on IRC, etc., but most people encounter errors like this during the installation of windows or during start upward. Unlike me, where I get this error on SHUT DOWN.

    Thank you very much

    Hi nancyngoyi,

    You can try to download the latest drivers from the HP site. Later, check to see if the problem persists.

  • When I shut down my computer and turn it back on, my logon screen does not appear.

    When I close my computer to move around the campus, he goes to hibernation, which I expect it to do. Unfortunately, when I opened this back to the top, most often (by that I mean always) the login screen refuses to appear. the only solution I've found yet is to shut down my computer, turn it on, and then go to the logiin screen. at this point he invites me to "Please wait", where, how it makes the little thing spinny points. It goes back to the beautiful image of a tower, and when I hit a button to return to the login screen, the "Please wait" is present. affter ten minutes of this unforgiving cycle, it ends by allows me to connect. but id prefer to not turn off my computer and then go directly to the login screen.

    im running windows 8

    Check connection options > to the 'start' screen type in "sign-in"options > select 'Sign-in option' > so 'password policy' says select "password is not necessary when waking up this PC to sleep" change "Password required when waking from sleep"

  • 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.
