    Shutdown problem crashes resolved

    The mystery of the shutdown crashes appears to be over now. I thought I'd post this message to advise those who had helped me what the problem and solution was. My very long thread started some weeks ago was frustrating me no end in my attempts to resolve the strange crashing during shutdown...

    Dr. Watson log - can any7one read it and advise

    Well, my old shutdown crashes returned after a fair number of days without them. The reference is again to "winlogon.exe". Below are the first few lines of the Dr. Watson log during the last shutdown crash. I'm only posting these few lines, as the full log is quite large. Can anyone tell...

    Strange shutdown error message in XP Pro

    After finally disabling Spyware Doctor, the serious problems being produced by it seemed gone. So I totally unninstalled the software. But, it was still after me. When I went onto the Internet, I had no connection. I confirmed that my network was OK, on another machine. So I tried again, and...

    Belarc Advisor reaches 96% and then stalls

    I periodically run Belarc Advisor on my system, and file the reports. Just now I ran it - it paused for a few moments at 56%, then continued on to 96%, and then stopped responding, and did not finish. This happened each time I tried. I uninstalled it, and downloaded the latest install file...
