Event ID 6008
Every time I shutdown or restart on boot Event Viewer writes an administrative error in the log "Source: EventLog Event ID: 6008 The previous system shutdown at <time> on <date> was unexpected."
I do of course shut down properly, i.e... Start> Shutdown or Restart.
I've done a good deal of searching but, most of what I've found involves this error following a BSOD/Bug Check which I am not experiencing and after which of course this error would be expected.
I did find this Event ID 6008 is unexpectedly logged to the System event log after you shut down and restart your computer which seems to describe the problem and offers a hotfix but, does not apply to Windows 7. I can find no correlating hotfix for Windows 7.
The computer runs fine. I have no crashes or other problems and shut downs/restarts appear to happen in an orderly fashion. Had I not noticed it in the event log I wouldn't even be thinking about it.
System is a Dell Dimension 8400 3.2 Ghz. P4 w/ 4GB RAM (~3 useable) and ample disk space. Display adapter is an NVIDIA 8400 GS with the latest drivers. All other drivers are up-to-date and BIOS version is the latest available from Dell. Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit.
Basically I'm looking for someone who has a ready solution and short of that I'm inclined to ignore it as it does not appear to effect operation. You know how those red flags in Event Viewer tend to grate.
TIA for taking the time to read my post.
