Problem With Shutdown API on WinME

[QuaffAPint]

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 :confused:

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.

For Me it works fine in Win ME

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.
