Shutdown Startup using Me
I have a brand new (took it out of the boxes at 10:30 PM last night) Dimension 8200. I ordered it with Windows Me. It will not perform a Shutdown/Restart. It just sits there (for many many minutes). My only choice was to pull the plug and replug.
I wonder if this is an Me issue?
Anyway, because I am a geek by day, I tried a selective startup and only had windows load what it needed at a minimum (reasoning that the problem may have been some loaded background software). This made no difference.
I was able to do a normal shutdown ONCE. But this was the only one time it worked. Shutdown/Restart hasn't worked even once.
I am willing to try a reload of Me because I have nothing transfered to this machine from my old one yet. I just wondered if someone had a Perl of wisdom for me?
It's brand-spanking new. This shouldn't be happening.
