Win ME shut down problems.......

[Nvidia2000]

I'm running Win Me with my detonator 3 ( gefroce2 GTS ) , i think it's 6.18 verison... But whenever i shut down my computer, there's a blue screen that says" windows protection error, System Halted " WTF was that ? this happens whenever i shut down my computer and it is really annoying cause i have to press the power off. Is there any way to solve this issue ? this is really pissing me off...........

i'm using :
p3v4x (4.24 via driver, i tried 4.23...... same )
Geforce2 driver-6.18 detonator 3

been getting that 2.

Do you have SB Live card? If you then that's your culprit. Try moving the soundcard to another PCI and it should cure your woes...it solved mine.

However, I can now shutdown, but I can't reboot.

Same story here. Pretty sure it is the Detonators and WinME

i'm not using soundblaster live........
this is really pissing me off, it scan the hdd whenever i shutdown...... and the background error.. all that problems caused by shut down not properly..... man, can nvidia solve this ?

 

[Psylent]

do you have an illegal beta copy or an offical released copy?

i'm sure MS would love to hear from one of its beta testers...

hehe

I get the same exact message after I upgraded to the new 6.18 drivers - Strange. I also tried the 6.26 and also get the message, The 5.22's never gave me this error. Hopefully new drivers will fix this. I am running Win Me Final.

Also I get a strange message when I go to Windows Update stating my Internet Explorer is no longer supported by MS. WTF it's version 5.5!!!! Any Ideas?? - Mike


Here are my specs:

Asus P3V4X (1004 Beta Bios)
PIII 700e @ 910
Hercules GeForce2 GTS 64 Meg
128 Meg Crucial Cas2 Ram
SB Live MP3
2 Maxtor 40 Gig Hd's

Try this trick for shut down problem.

 

Windows ME dosen't support SBlive

if you don't know what you're talking about just don't say anything. it makes you look like an idiot.

 

[Mr.Mike]

Emjem- That makes my problem worse, it will lock up the system. That shortcut also locks up another win me machine that runs perfectly fine.

<< Windows ME dosen't support SBlive >>


Yes, the SB-live does supoort Win ME it's just a little flakey

Mr. Mike

It works for several people I know. And while I never had the shutdown problem myself I am able to shut down with that command line. It's a nice shortcut.

If you're sure that you copied the command line correctly, then my next effort would be to try shutting down apps running in the background. One at a time until hopefully one is found to be causing the problem. Well, you prob know the routine. Control/Alt/Delete -- End Task. Haven't done this for awhile, but guess you have to keep Explorer and Systray running -- all others can be ended for the test.

I'm running WinME full version installed over WinFE and have Detonator3 Geforce2 GTS drivers loaded (for Creative). P3 600e OC'd to 800 (retail fan) on Asus P3V4X -- no problems of any kind with ME after 2 weeks.

I get the same error msg on occasion. Only after extensively long usage. If I boot up, goof a round for a bit then shut down no probelm, but if its on for hours and hours on end I get the BOSD identical to what you discribed)

why would you think its the video drivers? Does something magical happen to video drivers when your PC tries to shut down? I don't think so. It's not &quot;shifting any gears&quot; taht I know of during shutdown.

I have the same MB as you, so maybe THAT is the problem?

What amount of RAM do you have? I'm running with 256MB.

This a very annoying &quot;feature&quot; to say the least.

 

[Mr.Mike]

The reason I belive it's the video drives because when I switch back to the 5.xx series of drivers I do not get the error message with the 6.xx and above it comes right back. Everything else is running great!

 

[Homerboy]

Well, ok... that makes sense. Now hopefully for a fix.

I agree, Windows ME does support the Soundblaster Live.

using a tnt2 ultra with the 6.26 drivers &amp; with nothing overclocked except the cpu fsb, since my MB has official support for 133fsb &amp; ram is pc133, i've had 2 lockups with no error messages which could only be fixed is by push the reset button. I have a sblive x-gamer &amp; i know the addition of the FSAA feature caused one of my game to lockup while AOE2 has no problems, the 2nd lockup occured right after i stopped playing AOE2 &amp; decided to turn off my computer &amp; it hanged in a blank screen right before it should say &quot;it's safe to turn off the computer now&quot; &amp; when i push the reset because ctrl+alt+del doesn't work on hard lockups, it didn't do a scandisk probably because it didn't even know it locked up &amp; when i did a manual scan there was no errors either, but besides these 2 lockups, i've had no error messages.
