Windows XP Windows ME Shutdown problem.

[jpm123]

Hi all,
this might have been already covered in the forum....

I'm running Windows ME and my PC will not shut down properly. The monitor goes off and the power light on the PC goes out but the fan still operates and the keyboard lights are still on. The only way I can fully powerdown the system is keep the power button pressed.

only problem with that is that on restart, Scandisk runs as windows detected incorrect shut down .... very annoying ...

any thoughts pls !!!

Thx.

Hi all again,
thx for the links above .... on looking at this and the issue with my PC ... the PC actually seems to shut down ok, but does not power down. The fan still runs and the keyboard is still live ...

any ideas on this ?

Thx.

Is it set to go into stand-by mode?

I believe I have set it to never shut down in the power options in the control panel. I'll check this out later ...
