Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Why don't you learn what you are talking about before you spout such drivel?
The only time I ever shutdown or reboot any of my systems is for
installation of patches--in other words not more than once per month two
days after Patch Tuesday (OK, so I'm paranoid and test all patches before
system-wide deployment).

I am a Linux fan myself (I prefer Debian distros), but you do nothing to
help promote alternative OSes with your useless rhetoric.

Try actually helping people or offer alternatives and people will take you
seriously. Spouting off useless "windoze" bs simply gets you ignored by
people who may be interested in trying one of the more user friendly
distros.

For users wanting more info on Debian, go to http://www.debian.org/

If you aren't comfortable with making the jump all at once, download a
version of Knoppix which boots from cd, play with it and learn your way
around KDE and Linux based apps.

On Saturday 03 June 2006 04:50 pm, myPC had this to say in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:

If it's the mouse that's causing the problem, stop using a USB mouse.
Personally, I NEVER EVER use USB mouse or keyboard. PS/2 uses a
dedicated
bus...so there is no chance of conflict. Make sure you have all of the
laitest software and drivers installed for all USB devices....

and be sure to get rid of USB mouse and/or keyboard!!!!

Has absolutely NOTHING to do with using a USB mouse/keyboard!!! (enuf
exclamatin marks?). Windoze is a toy operating system that seems to just
breakdown like this for no apparent reason. It is not a stable o/s. XP
users just have to learn to live with the Windoze eXPerience - part of
which is needing to reboot to get things somewhat stable for a period of
time.

I am running XP prof. SP2 on an old machine that was working fine with
this setup. Something changed some months ago such that:

After working fine, the USB 1 port shuts down at an apparently random
time. I can continue with a PS2 mouse when the USB mouse shuts down, but
using a camera or scanner is not possible without a restart. Device
manager always reports that it is working fine.

After the occurrence of a USB shutdown it is not possible to exit
windows
normally to a power down. The Windows shut down cycle seems to be going
on but the power does not ever get cut. If I wait till the disk drive
light stops blinking with any frequency, a manual shutdown using the
front power switch will work and a normal boot will occur on the next
bootup
without a disk scan. The shutdown is quite normal if the USB shutdown
has not yet occurred.

I have not been able to find this particular problem described and
solved. Any suggestions?
