Is this a desirable or undesirable feature. As long as I am working at my computer, XP Home Edition, I.E. Explorer 6, everything is fine. When I close the applications and leave my Microsoft bliss background up (desktop) up, and walk away, I come back to having to start up my computer.
Is Automatic shut down a new service pak feature. When I used to work at a computer company after using computer all day, we were encouraged to shut down at end of day.
This is a new occurrence. What happened prior was I went on vacation for a week. Shut down computer, unplugged it from the wall, and when I returned a week later, it started this new behavior.
Comcast my ISP, said to do a scan disk and defrag--and I did which was necessary from the self test and analyzing tools provided by computer.
Any solutions? Or is it something I should be concerned about?
I use McAfee and antivir for virus scanning. I use Yahoo anti-spyware, spyblaster and spybot.
Check the settings in the Power Options Control Panel. If you have set neither standby mode nor hibernate mode, then you should check your hardware for a fault. Open the Administrative Controls Control Panel, Event Viewer, and check for system and application errors. It is possible that a hardware fault (RAM, especially, and HD) can cause a shutdown due to a hardware error when attempting standby or hibernate modes. Open System Control Panel, Advanced tab, Startup and Recovery Settings, and in the System Failure section uncheck Automatically restart, check Write an event to the system log. This will prevent a standby or hibernate error from automatically restarting without generating a blue screen error for your amusement.
