Installed XP but PC will not shutdown

I have a PC using an MS-6534 Motherboard that WAS running Windows 98SE with no problems.
For 'corporate' reasons the PC has been re-installed with XP Pro.
Ever since XP was put on it the PC will not shutdown. It gets to "Windows is shutting down" and then hangs ... stops functioning! Reset it and it starts fine. If I RESTART it then it works fine. I even took it back to 98 thinking I had a 'new' harfware problem, but it shuts down fine.
Can anyone give me some ideas of a) what is going on and b) how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Ciderapple

oh i read the first letter and it is my story.
i talked with the M$ assistence and the last time we stayed together for 2 hours X-((and nothing happened
the work from 8:00 to 18:00 and i work from 7:00 to 19:00 so its very rare that i can talk together!!
the last time and the internetr forum they say that i need to manage the APM. but where isit in the winxp? where isit in the bios?
what to do?
if i press the restart every thing its ok and after a restart i can shutdown the pc.
but if i use anuything as internet or games the pc freezes in the blue screen "windows is shuting down..."
Someone have an idea?

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Which version of the operating system is it running now? (It is impossible for an iBook G4 to run Mac OS X 10.0.)
    How much RAM is installed?
    What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

  • After a mac update; flash player asked to be installed.  Install successful but application will not work.

    Hello,
    After a Mac update, flash player (along with silverlight) asked to be installed when I tried to watch video content or play games.  I installed flash player and it reports being successful and appears in my applications.  However, I cannot watch videos or play games, every time I am asked to install flash player again and again and again.  I suspect this has something to do with plugins but I am not sure.  I have un-installed the program and reinstalled but it still will not work.  I check my security settings and it does allow plugins.  I erased my temporary internet files.  I don't know what else to do.  Any help would be appreciated!  This is incredibly frustrating.  Thank you

    Thank you for responding!  I am using a macbook pro 2011, 2.2ghz, intel
    core i7, 16gb - version 10.9.5.   I have not intentionally installed any ad
    blocking software; intact I am inundated with it most times.  My online
    school work required that I disable pop up blockers and all was well until
    an update a few weeks ago for both security and operating system.  To the
    best of my knowledge I am allowing pop ups and plugins but this may be
    where the trouble is.  I am unsure, honestly of what security is running
    besides what I find in the system preference/security tab.  Thank you again
    for responding and any help is most appreciated.

  • I just installed 10.2.2. When I tried to start iTunes, I got the message that Rosetta needed to be installed to open iTunes. It downloaded and installed Rosetta but iTunes will not open and it no longer has the iTunes icon. What do I do now?

    I installed iTunes 10.2.2. When I tried to open it, I got the message that iTunes needs to install Rosetta to open. It then appeared to download and and install Rosetta. When I try to open iTunes, the icon bounces but iTunes does not open. The icon has also changed from the usual iTunes icon. What do I do now?

    I have a 2010 MBP15 which I do not use as much as my pc. When I do, I check for updates and I believe I updated iTunes to 10.2.2 a week or so ago. Since I still use iTunes primarily on my pc, I didn't bother firing up the updated iTunes on the mac.
    Last week, when I actually started iTunes on the mac, I got the message that Rosetta needed to be installed. Like abefighter I stalled. I surfed the net, read this thread to get some hints as to w** was going on.
    When I checked the system profile in the mac, I think it showed PowerPC for 'kind.' Surfing the Internet I found out Rosetta was something needed to help applications work on PowerPCs. But wait, since this MBP is an Intel, why would or should it be asking me for some stone-age plug-in that was never mentioned in all the previous updates for iTunes until now? Fyi, the iTunes icon on the dock had changed to what I think is an AppleWorks icon.
    So, I assumed that the update that resulted in my mac was corrupted. At first I scoured for 10.2.1, thinking that the last version was a dud, but in vain, nowhere to be found. I gave up and settled for a fresh 10.2.2. I did a casual delete, without touching any of the related personal preference files in my folder and it now which works fine. I'm glad I didn't jump to install Rosetta; I read elsewhere about someone who actually went through with the Rosetta install that resulted unhappily.
    Unless the mac in question is a PowerPC, I would doubt the need for Rosetta installation.

  • I bought a new computer and installed itunes but it will not recgonize i pad

    how do i get my computer to recgonize my i pad ?

    You can try this - quit iTunes, reboot your PC, restart the iPad and then try again. Use a USB port on the computer - do not use a hub. Remove any unnecessary USB devices while you are trying to iTunes to see the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If those things to be prove unsuccessful .....

    Can you help, also when I had Vista installed the 2nd page printed upside down. I have tried to get the patch for this, but cannot find it.
    You may need to enable the duplexer hardware as described in the Vista Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide.  There is also a link there to the patches for Vista back side upside down. When you have the duplexer enabled please post here about the results printing a duplex page.  If the back side is upside down the Vista patch can be applied.

  • My mac mini will not shutdown with either Mavericks or Yosemite (following a clean install)

    First noted while running Mavericks, my Mac-Mini will not shutdown.  It just hangs on a black screen with the little icon.  I created a clean user account and the problem went away.  Rather than do a fresh install of Mavericks, I waited until Yosemite came out.  I reformatted the drive and did a fresh Yosemite install.  I then restored my apps and data only to find the problem is still present.  I've also tried stopping many of the applications I would normally expect might cause the problem with no luck.  And I tried the one Yosemite suggestion regarding deleting the Library/Caches folder content with no luck.
    My naive question:  following the fresh install of Mavericks, should I have done a re-install of my (very many) applications instead of a restore from an image?
    I've tried looking at the system logs after I've forced a shutdown with the power button but there's nothing I could find that shows any problems.
    Any other suggestions of things to try would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Thanks.
    It is running 10.5.8.
    I am trying to boot up an external drive with 10.5.8 on it. It works on my Macbook Pro which is running 10.5.8, runs on my IMAC running SL. But doesnt work on the mac mini?
    It had been running SL, however there are a number of programs I have like Windows Live Sync which are not yet compatable with SL so i downgraded to 10.5.6 which came with the Mac Mini then loaded all updates.
    It seems to just go into an auto reboot as soon as i click on it.
    i thought it might be the firmware? Is it possible to downgrade them and then re-install?
    I have reset the PRAM.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    1.        Uninstall the adobe 11.0 flash player first even if it shows as a recent install
    2.       2.  Install adobe flash player 11.0 and make certain you download from the Adobe website not a liason website! Important!
    3.       Once installed fully and the prompt tells you that you have successfully installed adobe flash player 11.0 …
    4.       YOU must RESTART your computer regardless of what the prompt states at this point in time
    5.       Then when you have successfully  completed  shutdown/ restart and your computer reboots to normal operation…
    6.       You may receive or you may not receive a prompt stating that something new has been installed on your computer
    7.       If you receive a prompt after restart follow the prompt and do as it instructs you to.

  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.
