I'm using Win 2000. Sometimes I couldn't shut down OS. It isn't processed "shut down" command. And there isn't any break message or in event viever.
How can I solve this problem? Is there any tool to fix it?

Regards,

I ran into the same problem a few months back. Don't remember how I resolved it but here are a few sugestions.

You could try regcleaner at www.jv16.org.
Also make sure you have all the updates provieded at windowsupdate.

Do you use McAfee VirusScan? It caused shutdown problems on a few computers I've supported.

I'd also go through the services and programs that your computer runs at startup and disable any that you don't need.

You could try to get psShutdown from www.sysinternals.com. It has never failed me when shutting down a computer that's in limbo. It's part of their PsTools suite. It's free BTW.

Hope this helps you.
