I've isolated WindowsME shutdown problems to DCFSSVC.EXE (c:\windows\system32\drivers\dcfssvc.exe). Once removed from startup, I could shut this laptop down with no problems. What I don't know, is what the heck this application "does"? What is the OS's need for this? I don't want to arbitrarily shut down an application that is serving a needed function. So :-) can someone shed some light on this? Does anyone know of a "fix" (as in method of utillizing the application without causing ME tohang?).

Thank you in advance

Hi there :-).. I saw that URL as well, but it was my understanding from the info I read, that they were uncertain it was a digital camera file... Dell told me it was part of the OS... it's a customer of mine's laptop... he *does* have a digital camera device hookup on this laptop.. so it's possible......When I get it back I'll take a look at the digital camer software .. see if it can be updated.. thanks for help
