Thread: Problem With Shutdown API on WinME

    Question

    I'm currently utilizing the ExitWindowsEx API to try to shutdown windows.

    It works just fine on my NT box and on a Win98 box, but when I try it on my WinME box, it just kills explorer and goes to a black screen with a cursor blinking in the upperleft corner.

    I've tried the various choices..Shutdown, PowerOff, Force-On/Off...It all leads to the same result.

    Any thoughts

    Thanks.

    Just a thought, but maybe you have Disable Fast Shutdown checked in msconfig (click the Advanced button in the General tab). It does wierd things to your PC.

    The strange thing is that I use other programs like Download managers that do power off my WinME box just fine...I would assume they are using ExitWindowsEx, but maybe not...

    I would certainly suspect my code, if it didn't work on another NT box and a Win98 box.
