Cannot stand by, shutdown won't complete

Even though I have seen similar problems and soutions here, none exactly like this.
I loaded XP fresh on my Nvidia K7N2Delta-ILSR, xaber pro AGP 8X video, kinston 266mhz 512meg ram system. I had APIC 1.4 disabled in the bios, but the ACPI was turned on (Seems like there is no option to turn it off). I Know this cause the Hards disks kept powering down, and I would have to press space bar to start them up.
When system was installed, all seem fine, until I Went to power down. I was left with the "Safe to power off now" message on screen. WHen I rebotoed and checked, there was no ACPI lines in the device manager for "System devices". Also, "Stand by" was not available from the shutdown menu.
I have not been able to solve this. Downloaded the drivers from the MSI site for this nvidia based motherboard, to no avail.
Anyone with any ideas??
thanks

other minor issues: Only 2 fan connectors?? Not ENOUGH. Aside from that, GREAT MOBO

I don't shut my computer off at night. When I checked it out this morning, it was unresponsive to mouse, keyboard or via network. I could not turn it off via the power button (Even after holding it in for 10 seconds), and had to turn the power supply off from behind. The machine will no longer boot. It will not power up or power down via the power switch at all, the fans will not spin. I have removed all add in cards except the video, removed all power connections except the one to the motherboard. I Also tried removing the video card. but I could still not get it to power up via the power switch
I found that if I removed the power cord and plugged it back in once or twice, I could get the board to power up (power supply putting out power). I found this out accidently, as I was maing sure that the power cord was in the power supply firmly, I wiggled it a little bit, and it powered up. Lights 1 and 2 are red, 3 & 4 are green, indicating a CPU issue. both Fans are spinning.I swapped the cpu out for another to no avail, and the swapped out CPU boots fine in another computer.
I am at a loss to figure out how to proceed. Any suggestions?

i'm wondering if i can use my macbook pro to override the update that is incomplete.

What does this have to do with Classic operating systems? They won't run on a Macbook anyway.
I've asked this thread be moved here:
Using iPhone

TS1398 app store continues to show "loading" but won't complete

Appstore continues to show "loading" and won't complete download. Have checked wi-fi connection and reset settings.

also I am not able to stop the download to get rid of the loading app pictures...
at the bottom of the blank "loading app" picture it says waiting..
I tried going to log out of my itunes account but I am not able to click on my account ID, so I cannot sign out.

My iPhone 5 won't complete the sync with my PC...

my iPhone 5 won't complete the sync with my PC, says "waiting for items to copy (step 6 of 6)". have left the PC and phone connected for up to 15 hours one time, and the status never changes.

I figure it out. Somehow, in my Advanced settings, password was somehow "de-selected" as my Authentication setting in Incoming Selections. I re-selected it, and now everything is back to normal...

Mobile account won't complete setup, initial sync won't complete.

I'm trying to setup a mobile account but it won't complete the sync process on the client MacBook Pro. Both the server and the MacBook Pro are running 10.5.5.
When I login to client it prompts me to create a Mobile account and proceeds with the sync to create the account, but when the sync is complete it just logs in with the default account setup. None of the user files or settings (desktop image, preferences, etc) appear. The sync process says "Checking..." for all the files that supposedly get copied to the client, but it looks like it doesn't complete.
Is there a way of knowing what the problem is? Is there an issue with the user's home directory, some file that prevents the sync and mobile home creation from completing?
Thanks.

Forgot about getting this problem solved.
The user account that had this trouble had a copy of his home directory from a laptop in his home directory. This backup had it's own Library folder which was confusing the Mobile account sync process.
When I removed the backup home directory, the initial sync went fine.

IMac won't complete restart after upgrade to 10.5.6

I recently ran Mac OS upgrade 10.5.6, but iMac won't complete restart. After the apple appears, script appears across screen and a box appears in the middle telling me to restart my computer by "holding power button until shut down, then press on/off button again to restart. Any suggestions to try before taking machine to Apple Store?

Thank you everyone. The correct answer was a kernel panic, and although the resolve kernel panic links above did not offer a successful solution, it was a correct diagnosis. Following the Apple Troubleshooting steps allowed me to determine that a faulty third party keyboard was the cause. Restarting with shift, restarting with 'x,' and restarting with ctrl-option-r-p did not solve the issue. Unplugging the keyboard and restarting did identify the keyboard as the culprit. Thank you all for your help.

I downloaded the latest version but it won't complete installation. It says: Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system. What do I do now?

iTunes stopped working so I uninstalled it. I downloaded the latest version but it won’t complete installation, giving me a message that says: Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device’) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system. Can anyone tell me what to do next? Thank you.

I tried your suggestion, and what I get is this message: "Error 1053 the service did not respond to the start of contro request in a timely fasion." Any further suggestions? Thanks

Been trying to update My iPad software to iOS 7.0.3, download won't complete it's been 2 days, some apps also won't complete downloading

Been trying to update my software to iOS 7.03 but it. Won't complete, it's make some apps stuck too, please help

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
If that doesn;t work, you can try updating through iTunes.

I was recently prompted to update iPhoto and make changes to the library. I did it but it keeps hanging up in step 5 or 6 and won't complete the cycle. I have used force quit, rebooted and started again several times. How do i get this to work?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails:
Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

Thread 1 cannot allocate new log - Checkpoint not complete caused by small

Hello, one of my customers databases (setup by the customer) is running in archivelog mode. We find every day in the archivelog more than 10x the error "...cannot allocate new log - Checkpoint not complete "
The system has theese parameters:
select group#,members,bytes from v$log;
GROUP# MEMBERS BYTES
1 2 8388608
2 2 8388608
3 2 8388608
4 2 8388608
5 2 8388608
6 2 8388608
7 2 8388608
8 2 8388608
9 2 8388608
10 2 8388608
I asked the formder admin, why the redologs has only 8mb size. The answer was: "To find out, when there was big activity in the database. The count of archivelogs are bigger if you has small redologs. If you use some 250m redologs, we cannot see when tha database has big load. But this is important in case of recovery to recover the database to the point in time before the big load was has taken place." ... ???
Okay, if the customer wants to have 8 MB redologs ... I don´t care. But how can i prevent now the error message? The only way for me is to setup more redolog groups. But it would be very confusing to have 50 or 70 groups of redologs.
What can I do else to prevent the error?

what is the log frequency?
logfile size?
can you check fast_start_mttr_target as well
check the following description:
Sometimes, you can see in your alert.log file, the following corresponding
messages:
Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 248
Current log# 2 seq# 248 mem# 0: /prod1/oradata/logs/redologs02.log
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 249
Checkpoint not complete
This message indicates that Oracle wants to reuse a redo log file, but
the current checkpoint position is still in that log. In this case, Oracle must
wait until the checkpoint position passes that log. Because the
incremental checkpoint target never lags the current log tail by more than 90%
of the smallest log file size, this situation may be encountered if DBWR writes
too slowly, or if a log switch happens before the log is completely full,
or if log file sizes are too small.
When the database waits on checkpoints,redo generation is stopped until the
log switch is done.

Adobe Download Assistant won't complete download Acrobat Pro xi

Adobe Download Assistant won't complete download. It says downloading 501mb, and when it does that it goes around again and again. My download speed is about 7mb, so it shouldn't take more that a couple of hours at most...

Glyphodend I would recommend downloading Acrobat XI Professional directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X.

When I have opened newstand it will not close like other apps. I have to shutdown the iPad completely why

When I have opened newstand it will not close like other apps. I have to shutdown the iPad completely why?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
