shutdown message problem

Expand Post »
hi
I run Windows XP SP2. Whenever i go to the "run" dialog box and enter "cmd", i get a dialog box that says your system is shutting down in 49:59. I have to type "shutdown -a" to get rid of it, but i've got sick of it. Plus i tried to compile the allegro library from command prompt which ended in errors showing "A system shutdown is in progress.". I went to the registry and went to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\currentversion\winlogon. The value of "Userinit" there was "userinit.exe iph.exe". I removed the iph.exe from there and it doesn't show up in the task manager as well. But i still have the problem and don't know what's triggering it.
Can someone suggest me something?

Re: shutdown message problem

You might be infected with the w32.blaster.worm virus. You should run a good anti-virus scan of your whole system with a good anti virus program.

Re: shutdown message problem

You could go into safe mode and run a alternative anti virus program ie Trend and run the DOS appliation together with the two pattern files ie lpt and sspda (latest versions,same site).

Re: shutdown message problem

so the hutdown message happens in safe mode asswell.

I have a client that called me with the same prob so I hope its somewhat like yours so I can reference later

If you are in a rush you can backup, format and install new OS on the drive (I never instruct users to format cos im not a format techy)-
keep me up to date

Re: shutdown message problem

i too tried the removal.bat. But whenever I run it it says "Are u sure u want to add c:\windows\temp\sta.reg to the registry.
Then when I click on Yes, it says
"Cannot Import c:\windows\temp\sta.reg.
The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry."
What is it?

Re: shutdown message problem

Hi see if this will help you if its on a home pc

Go to registry editor and navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Policies \Microsoft\Windows \WindowsUpdate\AU

Change the “NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers” DWord value to the required number.

0 = False (Allow auto-reboot)
1 = True (Disallow auto-reboot)
