Answer» I have a hp w19e computer with Windows XP 2005, and when I click start/shutdown I get an hourglass and no shutdown. I have to shut it down by the power switch, and then when I restart it and try to shut it down via start/shutdown, it will shut down but not if I've use the computer for a while. After the computer's been used awhile, it freezes up on start/shutdown. Is there a remedy to this problem? I'm not very computer savy, so please be as SIMPLISTIC in your explanation as possible. Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).
Click on Startup tab.
Click DISABLE all
Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.
Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.
NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.
Same problem with the shutdown?Hi and thanks for your suggestion, but this didn't seem to work. I followed the steps you suggested, but when I RESTARTED the computer, I was prompted to select "Normal start up". When I tried to shut down, I had the same problem--hourglass with no shutdown. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks for any help you can give me.Download HijackThis:

Hope this helps and thanks for any help you can give me with this problem.I don't see anything malicious, but....
...what do you mean by:
Quote when I restarted the computer, I was prompted to select "Normal start up"
I have seen this before, since the msconfig file was changed, and certain things were disabled, Windows wants to know if you want to start with the altered configuration or with the normal (start everything) configuration.One solid reason msconfig should NOT be used to turn off/on services....So should you or should you not use msconfig, from what I gather Broni says yes and Patio says no Not saying Broni is right or wrong...
However services.msc is the proper way to do it.
You can render a machine un-bootable using msconfig.so pretty much, it really doesn't matter, as long as you know what you're doing and your CAREFULLObviously everyone has different experience, but speaking from my own...
The only case, which is dangerous, in my opinion, is when you try to force Windows Safe Mode through msconfig. Then, there is a good chance for the computer being stuck in Safe Mode.
Also, keep in mind, I suggested turning off only non-Micro$oft services, and this should be safe.
Only recently, I was forced to do it, because it was the only way for me to install Vista's SP2.
I had no time to investigate, but some non-Micro$oft service was preventing SP from being installed.
In this case, if puterfix selected "Normal" startup, then no test was done.
The above procedure is called Safe Boot. It's not my invention, and I recommended it to many people for testing purposes. So far, I didn't have single complain.So, now I'm more confused than ever. What should I do? I have heard there is some sort of patch to fix this problem. Is anyone aware of something like a patch? Any other suggestions? Is this happening to anybody else? Please help!
Broni, isn't this an issue in the log?

Please pardon my insolence.....I wish to learn.That entry is safe. It's part of Norton.
