YODA74 Posted September 7, 2002 Posted September 7, 2002 Some system info might help here is this an off the shelf comp.? Have you added anything latly (any new programs)? Have you gone to device mgr to see if you have conflicts? Are you using power management? This an upgrade or full version XP? (clean install)? Are you using fast user switching? Have you gotten the new service pack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinnah Posted September 8, 2002 Posted September 8, 2002 ok well yes it was foolish of me to given no information Its not an offshelf ,I assembled my own machine I upgraded it from Windows ME ,cause as i did not have a legit copy and after harddisk format The xp did not install from dos mode ,so i had to upgrade the hard way install me first then xp I tried making a bootable cd but did not work the copy i had all the essentials to be a bootable cd (but did not wrok) There is no device conflict,nothing shows in device manager have checked before and even before i started writing this No have not installed the service pack till now No I use no power managment Well the thing is it shuts down ,i get the logon screen saying it safe to shut down then i cannot switch off using the power off button does not respond have to reset then usee the power onoff button Appreciate your reponse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YODA74 Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 I upgraded it from Windows ME ,cause as i did not have a legit copy If it is a Warez copy could be just about anything? Can't help you there If you have to upgrade then do it from 98 not ME I would obtain a legal copy which is Bootable from CD, Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
