ok

when ever i start up my com this is the first thing that loads up on that screen (black box with the command)

[attachmentid=158995]

now when that comes up it stays for like 3sec MAX then my computer shuts down..

most the time i can click the X box real quick and it wont shut down..

why does it do this? i have not changed or touched anythink, its really gay,

thanks talin

Look in your startup folder, and use something like Spybots to snoop through your registry startup to find what is calling "shutdown".

It'll be a batch file, or direct link to shutdown.exe (located in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory)

Shutdown shuts down the computer
The "-t 00" says to begin shutdown in 00 seconds (ie: immediately)
The "-s" means to shutdown (as opposed to shutdown + restart)
The "-f" means to force everything to close immediately

If all else fails, open start/run/cmd.exe and type "rename C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\shutdown.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\shutdown.exe.backup" ... Certainly not going to fix things, but it'll stop you having to click the X real quick on startup Then just rename it back to shutdown.exe when youve had someone fix the problem for you if you cant do it yourself.

do you mean by start up folder..

start/run/msconfig/startup?

As in Start / Programs / Startup /

But using msconfig is definately a good way to check "the other ways" of starting a program on boot




My guess is one of your mates is playing silly buggers with you, so it'll be easy to find.

hmm the only thing in Start / Programs / Startup / is MS Office

In fact...
