Hi everyone.

I am having this problem where after I click on "Yes" to shut down, it
goes to that blue screen "Please wait while your computer is shutting",
just staying there and never shutting down. I am running WIN OSR2,
Novell 4.11. Please help.

Why doesn't DOS ever say "EXCELLENT command or filename"?

I have also found that if you are running the Novell Client32 to access
the network, ensure you have the latest one. I did this and reduced the
shutdown time dramatically.

I have a strange one too. My computer does get the "It is now safe....",
but only when it want's to, which isn't very often. Once in a blue moon
will it shut down completely. Does anyone have an answer to that one?

Please e-mail me with the solution!
Thanks

Hi!
I've got that problem too (the computer not shutting down), but it's
also locking up during sessions and even Ctrl+Alt+Del won't work. Any
suggestions? I've looked through the troubleshooting wizards, and I
can't seem to find anything that pertains to the locking that I'm
experiencing. It happens most often when I'm using Netscape, could that
be a factor? Also, I'm using an Acer Aspire, could it be the machine
itself?
Thanks for any response.
Later,
Bonnie

to run a virus protection program.....If anything it couldn't hurt......

In fact, it could be an AntiVirus protection program causing the hang =
ie:Nortons AntiVirus.

Win95 hangs on shutdown with autoprotect.

In your Norton AntiVirus Folder (C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus, by
default) is a file, APMSGOFF.REG. Import this file into your registry, =
by
double clicking it. This file changes the way Norton AntiVirus
Auto-Protect works. When you import this file into your registry, the
Auto-Protect message displayed during shutdown is disabled. This will =
avoid
a problem with
some video drivers where the system appears to hang during shutdown. =
Your
floppy drives are still scanned for viruses if Norton AntiVirus is
configured to do so. Import APMSGON.REG into your registry to re-enable
the message. You must restart Windows for this change to take effect.

In the event you receive an error during import, copy the file to your
Windows Temp directory, and then double click it, this should resolve =
your
problem. If not, Start REGEDIT, Click on Registry and select Import
Registry Files. Point to the APMSGOFF.REG in your NAV folder =
(C:\Program
Files\Norton AntiVirus, by default). This situation pops up on some
computers with no real explanation why it happens.
