ctrl+alt+del is a pretty harsh way of rebooting, which doesn't give applications a chance to shut down correctly etc. - it shouldn't only be used as a last resort.
Win9x is full of flaws, and there are several related to shutdown... like not being able to do ACPI poweroff but only showing the "it's now safe to turn off your computer" etc. |

No problem since it would only be used to restart the computer after all 'foreground' programs have been closed and all unsaved data has been saved. And it is the last resort since all other ways have failed.

But what's incredible here is that the problem appeared when I reinstalled Windows. It was working fine before and it's the exact same version I've reinstalled. @Yardman Quote: Are you using EWX_FORCE with ExitWindowsEx? yes, I am. But this is not the problem. Windows is already showing the restart screen when it stops responding, so obviously all applications are already terminated. @NTOSKRNL_VXE Yeah, I saw that one coming! A little bit harsh, but I guess it's the only way. Thanks. |

I set BIOS settings when I first get a new computer. I rarely change them later. And the shutdown and suspend processes also use ACPI (don't they?) and they're working fine.

I remember win98 had a problem with shutdown/reboot when a lot of network drives were mapped...
