yardbird Posted September 15, 2010 ID:313864 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Dell 2200 Inspiron XP home (SP3) running MBAM Pro, with Avast (removed Trend Micro, takes up too much resources) This is the notebook I have a post on here: Two blue screens. that was giving me BSOD's and the problem was memtest picked up some bad ram Sunday night. Monday, I go buy a 1gb stick of ram, all works ok. But several times, intermittently. Going to turn the notebook off, it says "saving your settings" Windows is now turning off....nothing happensI'm stuck! All that was changed was a replacement 1gb stick of RAM, An Uninstall of Trend Micro, An install of Avast. I installed ERUNT on 9/01/2010It will sit there for 15mins + until I hot power it down... then after 1 min - I can start it up, and it would shut down normal. takes less than 30 seconds... tonight all I did was download the MS updates, AV & mbam updates...tried to shut it down.... nothing?

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted September 15, 2010 Root Admin ID:313867 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Try installing this and see if it helps. If not then you may need to re-install the power management software on your system from the MFG.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/deta...;displaylang=en Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardbird Posted September 15, 2010 Author ID:313878 Share Posted September 15, 2010 @ AdvancedSetupThat Link did it Ron! Thank you very much. I'll leave it in Program Files unless you say other-wise? A normal Start and ShutdownI tested it four times, ran browsers, mbam scans. When I shut it off... It went off the correct way! thanks again !!!!! going to save that link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted September 15, 2010 Root Admin ID:313881 Share Posted September 15, 2010 You're quite welcome. I've been using that now for years on XP and it seems to always work well for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardbird Posted September 15, 2010 Author ID:313887 Share Posted September 15, 2010 It was in Program Files? now its gone? UPHClean but I saved the site, and put the UPHClean-Setup.msi program on a usb stick... thx. again for the quick reply... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swagger Posted September 16, 2010 ID:314642 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I've also used this and when I worked at my last job, I recommended deploying it to all the workstations because our users would always claim that it took forever to shut down or their computer would not shut down at all. UPH basically forces all those hanging processes that prevent Windows from shutting down to close, nice little tool.Regards,Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardbird Posted September 16, 2010 Author ID:314643 Share Posted September 16, 2010 It didn't shut down at all... Its a nice little tool... thx. for the input... regards... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardbird Posted September 23, 2010 Author ID:317288 Share Posted September 23, 2010 update on my notebook, I installed the UPHClean-Setup.msi back in Program Files. My notebook runs a 50/50 chance of shutting off !! As for the "you may need to re-install the power management software on your system from the MFG" up in post 2.. I went to the Dell support site & put in my service tag. I saw nothing about power management? to install... Unless theres another way to run the UPHClean-Setup.msi that I missed in the readme file.... TIA.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
