2.1 reboot/shutdown problems

[shoot me damit]

I never had a shutdown failer till I changed to 2.1 now I must exit 2.1.

 

I uninstalled and reinstalled from add and remove programs list. No help!

 

I even tryed removing left over folder for smartdefrag after unistall.

No help!

 

Failes to shutdown and to reboot. I have XP pro and it has all updates to sp2.

 

Under event viewer system file.

Date:1/10/2007 Source:USER32

Time: when ever I try. Category:none

Type:warning Event ID: 1073

User: Nt Authority\System

Computer: (name)

Description:

Attempt to reboot (name) failed.

Attempt to poweroff (name) failed.

Data: all 0000: 00 00 00 00

 

I have two systems both are XP pro SP2. both I have to exit the smartdefrag before they will reboot or shutdown.

 

NOTE: I never had this problem till I installed 2.1.

1.1 never did this on my systems ever. reboot or shutdown failer.

 

I have tryed all of the suggestions I have readed here none of them have worked to fix my problem. Like running program then trying to reboot or shutdown. No help!

 

I like the program it's working fine till I installed 2.1. Just to be clear I uninstalled 1.1 First then installed 2.1.

 

Allso 1.1 and 2.1 never shows red fragmented files on display when you tell it to defrag. only blue yellow white show on bar.

 

I am not sure what your fix was but it has made the problem not fixed it in my case. version I have is 2.1 Date release 1/8/07.

 

Very confused that some it has fixed there problem but started it in my case.

 

I am getting no bugreport to post.

 

EDIT: I have allso tryed hive clean up service from microsoft no change on shutdown or reboot. (was hoping this would solve the problem) No help!

still some shutdown problems

 

I am also having a few shutdown problems with Beta 2.01 when auto defrag is on. Seems to be mostly when the computer has been on a while.

I just installed smart defrag 2.01 after uninstalling 2.0. Running a fully patched win XP pro system, I can report I no longer have to shut down

smart defrag before shutting down the computer like I had to when running ver 2.0.

 

Its too soon to tell if I will encounter difficulties after having the computer on for a long time, but will post back if I do.

 

It is very nice to see this program just keep on improving at a very fast rate! But its possible---given the above posts---that not all bugs are swatted yet.---but such is the nature of a beta program.

Beta 2.01 : Shutdown problem not solved here on a winxp home SP2 system. No shutdown even on a fresh restarted PC.

After running a defrag it shuts down normally.

Degrading back tot beta 1.1 (to much trouble for the other users on this system)

Shutdown problems

 

I agree with the other reactions. On a Windows XP SP2 computer (fully patched). Smartdefrag 2.01 still causes shutdown problems.

SmartDefrag preventing shutdown

 

The latest beta was allowing my computer to restart or shutdown until the latest Microsoft security updates were installed and then it would no longer shut down or restart w/o shutting down SmartDefrag. Does anyone know why installing security updates would cause this to happen?

[samr]

rdunton,

I don't know, but that could be a clue to the cause. Iobit?

As I posted earlier---after first installing ver 2.0.1 xp shut down correctly on my xp pro system---but like all the above posters--after being on the internet for some time--I again have to shut down iobit defrag before I can shut down my system---the extra step of shutting down iobit is no big deal--it only takes a few seconds.

 

But still annoying in principle.

it seems that when IE7 and SmartDefrag are running, it doesn't shut down. However, if you shut down IE7, it seems to shut down correctly. I am not sure why this would happen either.

I am beginning to wonder if the auto defrag is hanging up after the computer is on for a while. I have noticed that the defrag icon arrows are moving when I log on, but after a while they stop. That in itself could be normal, but if I shut down the program and then start it up again the icon starts moving again right away. Also, I have no shutdown problems with auto defrag off.

I believe it's not specifically related to IE7.

I'm running IE6 here.

I had it with a fresh rebooted system. Just logged in as a user and tried to shutdown immediately. No joy!

I upgraded smartdefrag to 2.01 on a Windows XP sp2 system and a Windows XP Office system. No change, still both systems will not shutdown unless I exit smartdefrag. Had the same problem with the 2.0 version.

I've had enough of this program and it's about to be uninstalled - it's too much hassle shutting it down before you can shutdown the computer - Vista at the end of the month and I can't have problems before installing that!!

 

Byebye Iobit!

It seems that just opening the Smartdefrag window fixes the Shutdown issue, no need to actually close the program.
