Hi,

I´m from Brazil (South America) and I bought one TR2-A from USA.

So I installed some softwares in this computer (not so much) as Microsoft Officer, Winzip, DAP (accelerator download), Sound Forge and Vegas Music/Video software.

I Also have a wireless point at home (from my Asus motherboard).

Everything is working fine.

The problem is that sometimes when I Turn Off the computer, the computer stops at “Windows is shutting down” screen and don´t close this windows to black one.

Any help ?

Thats Windows for you… hey, I’m not complaining, think its a good OS, but small problems like this is pretty irritating.

I’ve been working on comps since young. No solution to this problem. Did you install all programs at one go without restarting when requested to? Hrm… perhaps I can do a little research on this and write a thesis…

Sorry, I can only help you by keeping this topic alive!

Do you have the same problem or it´s my computer ?

I would check your event manager to see what’s the last service that’s trying to close before the system shuts down. It’s likely that one of your applications you installed is tying up the system at shutdown.

You may want to refer to this: http://aumha.org/win5/a/shtdwnxp.php

It has many symptoms and possible avenues to explore to solve your problem.

I have exactly the same problem when my external USB soundcard is plugged in - I have to remove it before the system will standby / hibernate/ power off. As gr00vy0ne says a service is preventing the shutting down of your TR.

Sounds like sasser worm.
Windows update has some remarks about that.
I got my TR3 today and was following Rahul’s clean XP Pro installation instructions. I was getting lsass service termination which in return causes Windows to reboot. This turns out to be sasser’s signature behaviour.

After applying sasser worm fix everything seems ok.
