WinME wont shut down
I have a P2B-F motherboard and i have a shut down/restart problem. I have flashed bios to newest editions, upgraded all drivers, eliminated background programs and the computer refuses to shut down and restart.
I have a P2B-F motherboard and i have a shut down/restart problem. I have flashed bios to newest editions, upgraded all drivers, eliminated background programs and the computer refuses to shut down and restart. Power management is disabled. The problem i have is when i restart or shut down i have to go through scan disk. Plus i also have to manually restart. Basiclly hangs at a black screen.

I have the same problem. I looked around a few other bulletin boards and have come to the conclusion that Nvidia's Detonator 3 drivers are to blame.
Well after installing WinME 4 times I think I figured this one out. My specs are:
T-bird 900 on Asus A7V
128 megs PC-100 RAM
SB Live! value
Elsa Geforce2 32MB
I can say for a fact now that its the SB Live! drivers causing the problems. I installed every driver from 5.22 on up to 6.31 and same thing everytime....Windows protection error when shutting down. So i did a fresh install of WinME and did not install the Live! drivers. Every other driver was installed and working fine.I rebooted it 20 times including complete shutdowns and it works flawlessly. I then installed the newest 9x drivers from creative and the first reboot got the same thing. So after another fresh WinME install I used the Gateway drivers and it has worked like a champ ever since. A little note to Creative Labs: Please release working drivers for all platoforms. When i have the WinME beta for 6 months to test then surely you have the tools to have drivers completed when a major OS is released, Esp when WinME went gold nearly 3 months ago. Get on it!!
