System is as follows .

Duron 800
MSI K7Pro2-A
128mb ram
ATI All in Wonder 128 16mb
Windows 2000 Pro.


Latest drivers for Video card
Bios on MB is first version (thinking maybe a flash to latest may fix problem)
VIA drivers I believe are version 2.5

When I try to shutdown Windows , sometime it will do so . Other times it looks like it's going to shut down ........ Saving settings /Windows is shutting down etc. & just stay like that with me having to hold the Power button for it to shutdown .


Anyone have any ideas ?


🙂
 
i would like to know this as well. on some win2000 machines, it hang. on others it will sit at a prompt "it is now safe to shutdown your computer" and has only a restart button. then other times, it will shutdown as advertised. whats going on?
 
On computers that have ACPI enabled, then the computer will shut down automatically. On computers that doesn't have ACPI or have it disabled in BIOS, when you select shutdown, it will sit at a prompt "it is now safe to shutdown your computer" , if it hangs, then the OS might not be able to close certain programs and just hangs there.
