I have a syatem running W2K and whenever I try to shutdown it goes through all the prelimenary steps then either hangs at the final blue screen, or monitor goes offline but computer stays on, or sometimes hard drives powerdown and cpu still on. Please help.

I have hard a similar problem more than once. Software possibilities if you have mapped drives go to microsoft.com update and get the mapped drives update. Hardware possiblilites is to change you power supply. If that soesn't work it may be the motherboard.

I have no mapped drives, and i am not willing to change a power supply just yet. I believe my registry has been altered. Thanks anyway. I've had to format and re-install W2K to get this darn thing up to standard.
