I have windows ME on my doughters computer and it worked fine until recently. Now when you try select shutdown it will either hang or restart. If I use msconfig and take out the NDIS.VXD vertual devise driver it shut down properly. I renamed it in the windows system folder so that it would recreate it and it still has the same problem. Also romoved and reinstalled all of the communactions from setup and then done another complete windows setup. Same problem Can anybody help me without going to the extreme of formatting the drive?

You have asked the 64 dollar question. ME does indeed have a shutdown problem. the machines here have it randomly. There is about 6 page document on the MS knowledgebase see q273746.
hope this helps. My advice is get rid of ME. I am trying to get rid of it here at work.

hope this helps

Yes I know. I have tried all they said, including turning off system sound. Only other thing I can think of to try is checking if NIC card ect is shuting down properly.
