Logging off troubles!

I have the same issue with a Dell Vostro. Logging off... continues for hours until I have to power the lap off with the power button. I successfully shut down maybe 1 out of 5 times.

the logging off proble get resolved when o unistalled the emulator clone drive software so try.

Like a few others said, try other methods of shutdown.
try the classic .bat file.

Open notepad and type (or copy) this: "shutdown -s -f -t 0" without the quotes.
Save as> all files> filename.bat

Test that and let us know.
If that works, I may know a reg tweak that will work.

I'm having this problem also. I have a Dell Latitude D630, and started having this issue shortly after install (maybe a week after).

I tried turning on the laptop, but not logging in. Then I clicked the shut down icon, and the computer shut down with no problem. I also enabled "Guest" profile on the computer so I could see if it's having the same problem outside of my profile. It is. I can switch users, turn off the computer, outside of either profile with no problem (as long as I don't log in, no problem shutting down the system).

Obviously, the issue isn't with shutting down, but it's having a problem logging off only, so you don't get a chance to get to where the system shuts down.

My computer does this every time, and will not (log off so I can) shut down at all, until I either force quit (hold the power button down) or remove the battery.

Has anyone found a solution for this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I had removed my passcode from my profile on the laptop about the time I started having this problem. I don't know if this was actually related to that, but I replaced it and the laptop logs off and shuts down with no problem now. I had also turned off some startup programs, too, so I don't know if it may have been that, either. Either way, the problem seems to be over.

Hey TheVinesKid,

I was able to log off successfully using the shutdown command. Please share the reg hack. This is driving me nuts.

thanks,
Don

This thread is ancient. I doubt that vines kid will see it. If he has a fix should probably should PM him. You could also start a new thread if you want more resposes.

Why are you "logging off' when you "open" your computer. Please clarify what you mean.

Welcome to the Seven Forums, smithal! :)

Are you able to log on at all or does your computer immediately take you back to the log-off screen?

Do you have a password protected log-on or do you usually boot right into Windows without the log-on screen?
