I have a question about When
I choose "Shut Down" from the Start Menu, my computer hangs at the "Please Wait"
screen:
I have windows 2000 installed, and whenever I try to shut down my computer, everything
seems to shut down fine at first, and it even makes a slight "poofing" sound at the
end (that always comes when turning my pc off), but my computer is actually still
running. I have a black screen, but the lights on my pc are still on and I can hear
the typical "pc is running" sound. (The ventilators I guess). Even hitting the on/off
switch manually doesn't work to turn it off.
The only way I can correctly shut down my pc with this problem, is by always hitting
"restart" instead of "shut down" and then turning my pc off manually during early
bootup. This is really annoying.
Windows ME always shut down by itself correctly.
