Windows does not shut down correctly on two computers = new
problem.


There's good information on shutdown problems here:
http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/shtdwnxp.htm

No good. This was my first stop when I started having the problem,
but it doesn't have the answer I need.


OK, then sorry, I have no further suggestions for you. But let me suggest for the future that when you ask about a problem here, you let us know what you've already tried, and save us the trouble of posting unhelpful information.

As long as you promise, in future, to please read the post. The material you sent me does not address my problem in any way. It is about certain types of shut down problems which are unrelated to my post.

The people who post in here are volunteers who try to help others. It would probably benefit you to appreciate attempts by folks to help, otherwise it might decrease the amount of help offered. We are not sitting at your computer, it is not always clear what the underlying problem is, or what the solution might be.

When you post a question you should post the steps you took to resolve it to avoid just this situation. Here is a link to some information on how to make a good newsgroup post. Good luck with your issue.

The help is appreciated, but perhaps the original responder should not be furnishing so many requests if he cannot slow down and take the time to read them. The material he posted did not contain any informatin about my particular problem. It contained information about a variety of shut down issues, none of which were related to my particular issue. He may have been trying to help, but his boiler-plate posting of this article just because he saw the term "shut down issue" in my post does not help the situation. He should either take note of the specific issues covered in that article, or simply not respond to people with shut down issue.

His attempt to help was rushed at best. And now because of him I am going to have to change my name and repost under a new subject, so that other people who might actually have a helpful answer won't just skip over it, thinking it has been dealt with.

You're just not getting it are you? This is a newsgroup of volunteers. You didn't pay a fee. No one owes you anything. If you don't like the support then go somewhere else, but it's not very good common sense to not appreciate when someone is trying to help.

You can certainly change your name, but if your approach is the same, so will be the results.

Hypothetical situation. I'm in a car wreck and my arm gets trapped under a piece of wreckage. Ken Blake, MVP, comes by and volunteers to help with his gasoline-powered industrial circular saw. He throws on his goggles, fires up the saw, and then proceeds to carefully slice my arm off. Now I'm pissed because I don't have an arm... this was not in any way the help I needed.

Rock: Hey, he was a volunteer. If you don't like his help then go F-off.

The analogy is so flawed I won't waste the time on it, though if there was any good fortune involved you'd twitch at the last moment, and the saw would get you across the neck instead. Oh well, so sorry.

As I said in the last post, you really don't get it. Nobody owes you anything.

Well I'm finished with this thread. Reply if you must, and good luck with your problem.
