Hi,
Having a major problem with my Pent III running Win 2000.
When I try to shut down, the process proceeds to
a 'Windows is shutting down' message and then freezes.
Ctrl, alt delete doesn't work and neither does the power
button on the front of the computer. I have to either
reboot or turn off the computer using the power supply
switch on the back of the box. This began to occur after I
did the following (all in one session - now I know that
was dumb because I can't tell the effect of one thing from
the other ;-)
- swapping out the cd rom - it works fine
- installing a usb hub - works fine
- installing a new printer - works fine
- adding new software - Broderbunds 5 in 1 Home design
- updating Spybot - I then deleted the program suspecting
that it was the culprit
- using Win update - I now suspect this is the problem but
can't tell which of the updates is new.
Please HELP. Thanks
