Hi, For about 6 months now I've had an annoying problem with my computer that i would really like to solve. There are no real problems with my computer - its a stock Dell Dimension 4500 that i installed win2000sp3 on. But every time that i shut down my computer (or try to shut it down) it brings up a window "Ending Program - Sys Fader" with a small time-bar making its way down and the option of hitting "End Now" to end sysfader and shut the computer down. This is getting really annoying and id like to know what the deal is with sys fader and how i can resolve this issue. If you have any info that would help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks -Blair

Actually I've seen the website discussion forum that is being referenced in the advice given under that link, and it is of no help to me, as sysfader is actually not a program, but instead a function of Explorer. It isn't under the add/remove programs functionand i don't have outlook installed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -Blair

I've noticed that you have also been on the opentech support forum. Did you follow through to setting your clock back and finding/uninstalling a program called CPR? The thread was here. If that does not work and it appears that there is no sysfader.exe program in W2K, then I suggest that you try the following procedure to repair your W2K. Go to Start, run, type sfc /scannow ,click OK. Insert your W2K CD. The program will check for corrupted files and reinstall them. Unfortunately it does not provide a report. If that does not work then try repair using the Win2K CD. You will need to change the booting order of your computer. When you start up your computer, press the Delete key (sometimes it is F2 or F5) and a BIOS screen will appear. There you will be able to change the booting sequence to CDROM being first. Save and reboot. Watch closely as "Boot from CDROM" will come up quickly and allow you no more than 5 seconds to "Hit the key to Boot from CDROM". When you hit a key it will boot from the Win2k CD. The CD will load files which takes a minute or two. Then, choices appear as Install, Repair etc. Choose Repair. It will ask you for Manual or Fast. Try the fast one 1st and if that doesn't work try the 2nd one. 2nd one,,,Reboot with win2k cd select install it will ask you if you want to try to repair the win2k you have on the machine select YES....Note: It will NOT overwrite you data files just put down new OS systems files.. When it is finished, while rebooting, change the sequence back to the original one, save and proceed. It should work. If you are new to this, I suggest that you jot down on paper what you are doing, so that you can retrace your steps. Finally, if that does not work then repost and I'll give you suggestions in editing the registry with a freeware program to get rid of the sysfader.exe Good luck.
