Hi,
I'm having a problem with WinMe Shutting down. I upgraded from Win98 to WinMe, Just to try it out. I noticed it improved my DSL connection, Faster than Win98 for some reason. Everything is been running fine, Until Friday that I installed my Quickcam. After I installed it I played around a little with it and shut the CPU off, It shut down fine. Then on Saturday, I turned on my Pc and checked some e-mails and when I went to turn of the pc, I went START, SHUTDOWN and the screen would turn black like if it was gonna shutdown but the Pc keeps running and after like 30sec or so I get these fat Orange vertical lines on my monitor or sometimes the screen just stays black and the CPU still stays running and I have to power it off. I don't know if it was the Logitech Quickcam that I installed or what, But I uninstalled the camera and it still does the same thing. I went into the registry and removed everything there that was related to the camera and still nothing. Before I even installed the camera the Pc would turn off just fine with no problems until the camera. I tried reinstalling WinMe over the existing one and that still didn't help. After I reinstalled WinMe I remember that WinMe had a restore option, But it was too late. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions in how to fix this problem. I'm trying to avoid having to format my Pc. I would appreciated.
Thxs.
P.S.
I even downloaded the shutdown patch in the windows Update and still nothing.
