    Windows XP pro sometimes will not shut down

    Yup...it's called format & clean install. Then, add one application/piece of hardware at a time and see which one, if any, triggers the problem. I'm willing to bet that this will be the end of your problems." Tony Sure that is the answer, but for now it has been folded back to AVG 7.5 and it...

    AVG Antivirus Version 8 FREE Issues

    I just put AVG free 8.0 on my computer and about 50% of the time it chooses to ignore my command to shut down (START/SHUTDOWN). This was an occasional problem in the past with AVG free 7.5 but it is really worse now. [Operating System is XP Pro SP-2 (build 2600] I have to wonder if the...

    Windows XP pro sometimes will not shut down

    Hi all; I have had issues with my computer not shutting down; START/SHUT DOWN. Have been running AVG 7.5 and occasionally had the problem, now have put AVG 8.0 to update and have had numerous refusals to acknowledge SHUT DOWN command. Obviously, the bugger does not like me shutting down the...
