xp rebooting on shutdown command


besonen

Recommended Posts

i have an xp system that reboots when i issue the shutdown command.

this problem was not occurring prior to uninstalling symantec antivirus.

at this point i just need the quickest solution to prevent windows from rebooting. i.e., is there a registry setting that will completely disable windows ability to reboot?

any alternative suggestions (even if they are not quick) will be happily accepted too.

Of course, are there any errors in event viewer?

nope

Have you tried disabling hardware in device manager to rule out drivers? Does this happen in safe mode?

some great suggestions gosh. first i'll run the norton removal too. if the problem is still occurring i'll try some of your suggestions.
