RESTART button on START menu doesn't restart computer
When I call up the "Turn off computer" window from the Start button in Windows XP, if I click on Restart, it justs shuts down but doesn't reboot. Other ways of restarting also do not work, for instance from the Install Wizard after adding a new program and being prompted to restart. This has always been the case with my Dimension 4300, but I never bothered to inquire about it.
See if this will work. Copy the bold text below to Notepad and save it to the desktop as Restart.bat . It must have the .bat extension to run. Double-click it and see if it restarts your machine.
:Restart
@echo off
cls
echo.
echo.
echo Do you want to restart your computer now?
echo.
set /p a= Yes or No Y/N ?
if '%a%' == 'y' goto doit
if '%a%' == 'n' goto end
goto restart
:doit
C:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 03
:end
cls:Edited the time-out from t 00 to t 03 for a better restart.
