Hi all,
have a problem with my PC since i dowloaded updates from microsoft updates.
Was downloading 5 or 6 updates in the same session
Updates seemed to stop downloading after an hour had no choice but to switch PC off, now whenever i try to reboot or shutdown PC it takes approx 3hours but it does succeed in rebooting or shutting down with no errors in the event logs, is there a timer on how long a shutdown takes, or any other ideas?
Am running XP Pro sp2

If you can, in safe mode or from a dos prompt
Try un-installing the nVidea 6600 GFX drivers, it worked on my AMD system.
Found that the original drivers on the disc supplied, dont work I let windows auto discover & used windows version drivers no problem since.
Well it worked for me.

Do you have a registration code, other wise sending you the CD`s is useless.

Can be caused by incorrect IRQ settings.
Are there jumpers that can change IRQ settings on the board, or is it software set?
These may be conflicting with other hardware.

It could be the clock chip itself on the motherboard, you might need to upgrade or re-flash the BIOS,
NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED
If flashing goes wrong PC can develop a terminal illness.

would agree with all of the above apart from the bit about 'big commercial database drives' whatever they may be. Most BIG databases on a BIG computer will be stored on SCSI disks, the computer hosting the DB will run some version of UNIX and the disks will be configured as RAW devices. They don't even have a file system on them, no files, nothing to defragment.
SCSI old but reliable technology, now were using cascading optical drives, Terrabites not gigabites, defragging these is just not worth it, takes to long.

I have the Tom Tom version 5.00 on my HP pocket PC, all the maps that came with the last upgrade ie:- version 4.00 to version 5.00 including Europe are included, only thing is i need to upgrade my memory card from 256mB to 512mB to fit them on.
But your buying the Tom Tom 300, no idea how that works.

The question to be accurate should not be how many, but long does it take to change a light bulb.....
When the bulb needs replacing it takes me 3days of surching around the house to find one, then still having to go to B & Q to get the right one.
