Hi,
I am having folowing hardware on which i am having shutdown problem
system:pc330
type:6577
model:59t
processor:p100mhz
ram:32mb
NIC(lan card):intel 82557 10/100mbps
os : windows 95 release b
configured as win nt 4.0 client using IBM Netfinity(5500) Server.

Now my problem is that when i logon to the company's network using my login name and password, some logon scripts are exexcuted in logging process which map some networked drives, so after my logging process is over and also work,When i go for shutdown it gets freezed at the blue screen of "windows 95 windows is shutting down" and never shuts down in actual,after this if I use "crtl+alt+del" to shut, it restarts with scandisk and other problems.
whereas if i logon with a login name for which logon script is not present this problem does not occurs. the system shuts normally in that case, but that disable my mapped network drives for my file storage.

please help me

thanks



 
Hi,

This is usually a problem with Win98, but you do get it from time to time on 95, you have two options.

1. First log off from the network, before you shutdown each night. This is a real pain.

so

2. If you checkout the FAQ in this forum, and create the shortcut as I have explained, it should sort the problem.

dear friend,
i thank you a lot for giving me a solution thts really workable, untill the problem was there the machine was fine...one fine day, randomly it started giving this problem...can't there be any another solution please.

thanx a lot n bye
 
I have a similar problem on the Compaqs at school, except it does shut down okay with the shutdown from the Ctrl Alt del menu. It also shuts down with the shortcut mentioned (I assume it is the same I found elsewhere.)
Today I have found that the computer shuts down fine if all BUT 1 network drives are disconnected....
If you find a solution, let me know!
 
Kinuli,

Ok, have you tried first loggging off the network, then powering off..?
