After I applied *all* the latest patches from MS, 2 problems have surfaced which I absolutely cannot seem to fix. Sys specs at end.
The first and biggest problem: After a period of inactivity, my computer shuts down. I come back and there is the box on the screen which says "It is OK to shut down your computer." Normally, when *I* shut down, I don't get that. My box just shuts off. I have looked in the Power Options cpl and it is set to 'Always On', I have checked the BIOS and there hasn't been anything changed since installing the patches. I have looked everywhere I can think of and it all looks the same.
The second problem: Win2K doesn't like my version of PCAnywhere. It still works though. Prior to installing the patches, there was never any indication that there was a problem. Now, however, I get an warning similar to 'Windows 2000 has a problem with AW_Host.sys and it has been disabled. You may restart it from... (something in the control panel which doesn't exist.) This warning appears when I power up and when I power down. I have renamed this file to something totally nonsensical (I don't ever use host functions with PCA.) PCA still functions correctly. This warning does not impede the loading or the closing of the OS, but I would like to stop this from happening.
If anyone can help, especially with the first problem, I will keep you in my prayers and be eternally grateful.
Thank you,
David
