Re: system shutdown
Hello and welcome to TSF.
![]() You can stop Windows from shutting down by quickly going to Start> Run and typing shutdown -a. This will abort the shutdown in progress. Then, try typing in this : C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe If it still shuts down, it is possible that the file has been deleted or currupted. If you have a Windows disk the best way to check is to try Windows File Protection . Go to Start > Run and type in sfc /scannow click ok insert your xp installation cd when asked. It must be the installation CD, not the recovery CD. Note there IS a space after "sfc". This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem. Note that you will need to download Windows updates again as they will be lost during this process. Further info on sfc /scannow how to: http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html
