jamin100 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) I've just taken delivery of a couple of Tosh A300's I've put XP on the machine and installed all the drivers. I've then joined it to the domain and everything is fine. No problems whatsoever! Then i've installed the SP3 update, like i have done on many other machines and now when i try to shut the laptop down it gets to windows is shutting down, the dialogue box dissapears and then it hangs with just the wallpaper on the screen. I have to hold the power button in to turn it off. I know this is down to SP3 as i have rebooted and shutdown the laptop after installing every driver and the problem ony occured after i installed SP3. I have installed no other software on the laptop. Any ideas? TIA Edited November 13, 2008 by jamin100
kmount Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Looks like your shutdown is reflecting your mood My A300 does this sometimes even after removal of SP3 which I figure is caused by my shutdown script in GPO.
jamin100 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 The only script i run on shutdown is to write to a logoff database . . . Its really me off as i need to have this laptop ready by the end of the week!

Michael Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Does the event log show anything? I have successfully put XP SP3 on Toshiba A200's without any problems at all. I'm not sure how much difference there are between these two models.

I've got SP3 on some A200 and even a previous batch of A300's but these two just dont want to have it!
Michael Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 So are you installing XP SP3 on top of an existing installation? I always (95% of the time) create new images with a XP SP3 slipstreamed disc.

I tried slipstreaming SP3 but everytime i did it wouldnt accept the VLK
