i am having the same problem now. tempted to reinstall but i'm kinda lazy. I did
find out how to thwart that freaking retarded NT AUTHORITY 60 SECOND SHUTDOWN piece
of crap.
load up a cmd window and type
shutdown -a
it will abort the shutdown, but things might not be pretty afterwards. For me, i
can no longer drag anything and it gets glitchy quick. i usually just leave the little
crashy window open or move it on to another monitor until i'm done. I'm writing this
message right now with the error window on the screen. Sometimes i use hidewndw.exe
to hide the stupid message because everything is OK until you click the "close" button.
the shutdown command is pretty cool, and it works on 2k machines you just have to
copy the .exe over. it can remotely tell a 2k or xp machine to shutdown / restart.
or a whole domain if you want. you have to have the password for an account that
has permission. pretty neat.
