    Just the day before RShut came I up, I was browsing for an app that does just that: turn off the pc since for the last couple of weeks it sometimes just won't turn off.
    It starts the process, but then stops halfway.
    I've looked at the remaining processes, but nothing jumps out. Anyway, Rshut Pro won't get it to turn off either. I have now found an app that does it, but would like to fix the problem.
    Now I'm not sure how to proceed. I could return to a saved version of the registry from say 3 weeks before (since I'm running Erunt) or would a system restore from Windows be more adequate? Anybody any ideas?
    Pura vida, AlexSJ

  2. Really it all depends on what the actual problem is. It could be just registry keys, or damaged or missing files. It is possible the files will not be corrected with a system restore.

    Whatever it is - always make sure you have a backup of whatever you are going to change. For example if you create a full disk (eg. Ghost) image of your laptop then you can experiment and test different "fixes" until you find something that works. You can always go back to your "image" file to start again if your testing starts to cause more problems that it is fixing.

    My laptop sometimes gets too hot then shuts off. It's a VAIO. But I since have got a fan that goes under the laptop, and have had no problems since.

  4. Are you suggesting AlexSJ should heat his computer up until it shuts off?

    That might work.... *sigh*
