Solve : Shutdown, Sleep, and Icon problems: Win '98.? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hi,<br/><br/>I have an unusual <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/problem-25530" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROBLEM">PROBLEM</a> that started about three months ago on my Win 98. I have to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/instruct-2741502" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INSTRUCT">INSTRUCT</a> it to shutdown twice from the Start Menu before it will do so. When shutdown is selected the first time, the screen goes blue and in about one second, the desktop icons come right back. If I redo shutdown, then it shuts down. This problem is a constant one.<br/><br/>Secondly, I have noticed an increasing problem when taking the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/computer-243299" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMPUTER">COMPUTER</a> off sleep. The computer and drive engage, but the screen stays black. Adjusting the monitor does not seem to be able to help, as there is no return of the desktop even if the monitor is turned on and off. The screen just stays blank. I have noticed this problem rarely on Win 95 and 98, but I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/feel-986087" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FEEL">FEEL</a> the occurrence of this problem is getting much more than in the past.<br/><br/>Lastly, I have noticed that if a lot of memory is used up when multitasking, the Desktop will refresh and assign different icons to the programs. This is really more of an annoyance, but it would be nice to know if it could be fixed.<br/><br/>Any suggestions, especially to solve the first problem? Oh, I should mention, I could <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/program-246414" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROGRAM">PROGRAM</a> a shutoff routine, but I would rather find a Windows fix and I would be very interested in finding out why it is responding so strangely.<br/><br/><br/>Thanks,<br/><br/>PeteI would be looking for some crappy program that is still running when you try to shutdown.<br/>Try starting & shutting down from safe mode.because i am lazy have a buchers here><br/><br/><a href="http://aumha.org/win4/a/shtdwnme.htm">http://aumha.org/win4/a/shtdwnme.htm</a>I did place a D-Link router on that system about the same time I noticed the problem. That may be the software running in the background, thanks Fed. Also, Merlin, the link you provided mentioned D-Link being associated with this type of problem. I'll try working with the D-Link system and see if I can solve the problem.<br/><br/>Thanks guys,<br/><br/>Pete<br/><br/>D-Link is not going to be found to be the culprit. Other spyware/adware/trojans etc. are more likely.Culpret found. It is D-Link.<br/><br/>The wusb54gv4.exe causes the shutdown problem. When the monitor is turned off and the wusb54gv4 is ended with the task manager, Windows shuts down correctly on the first try. Interrestingly enough, if the wusb54gv4 is ended without turning off the monitor first, the whole system freezes.<br/><br/>In the link by Merlin, there was a ref. to a possible D-Link "patch" from that company. I will check that out and see if it fixes the problem. If not, I will simply use my desktop program I created that uses Rundll32 to shutdown windows. It is a faster shutdown, anyway.<br/><br/>Thanks guys, <br/><br/>PeteGlad you're on the way to tracking the culprit down...<br/><br/>And Welcome Aboard.<br/><br/>patio.</p></body></html> | |
