My XP computer will not automaticly close open windows when shutting down. How do I correct this problem?

Answer 1

u gotta install xp again..

Answer 2

domicile windows is doing a neat shutdown , and closing facilities and any open applications. Thats stuff like messanger, mail , virus scanners and some thing else thats left operating each and each and every of the time. there's a timeout put off to enable those close authentic. you may go out a number of those manually and get a shorter shutdown time . you may also pick to Hibernate your equipment somewhat than shutdown. Hibernate is shift-standby and powers off your equipment .

Answer 3

your computer is stalling on a particular background program that won't close, so it never moves on to closing other windows/programs. This could be because you don't have enough ram, or one program that is corrupted in your system tray. You should probably go to msconfig and uncheck the box that says "load startup programs" then restart. Also try defrag and disccheck utilities.

Answer 5

If you mean MS Office programs like Word or Outlook, there's no problem; that's just the way it is. Otherwise, the guy with the fruity hairdo is right; you have to install Windows again.
