Subject: RE: [ukha_d] OT - Win2K Not
shutting PC down?
Some
do, I'll have a dig around for some details. The dual-proc machine I'm
using now doesn't but the Dell 610 I've got at work does. I'll find out if
it's registry related or if there's anything more specific
required.

I
bought ME and found it to be the biggest pile of sh*t that I ever ran as an
OS - I even preferred 95! Most of my apps that I use all the time wouldn't
recognise the OS to be able to install the correct version and the drivers
for my 35mm film scanner ran at about 5% of the speed that they did on the
same machine when it had NT installed on it. That is - of course - until
after about an hour of scanning when suddenly they would start reporting
back spurious error messages before finally deciding that the CCD array in
the film scanner had died and that was that. (A very scary moment I can
tell
you until I moved the film scanner over onto another machine and it worked
perfectly!)
None of the flavours of Win2k that I've tried will turn off the PC
when doing a shutdown ... I too have several ATX and T based machines and
*NONE* of the ATX machines will power off with Win2k - I always assumed it
was down to Win2k's NT heritage!

Installed Win2K Pro on one of my machines
yesterday (finally got fed-up of Win ME).
Everything's fine except when I shut down the
PC just sits there with the message that it's safe to turn off. It
doesn't actually turn itself off like ATX machines do (and this one did
with ME on it).
Any ideas?
Thanks
M.
