Question:
Why doesn't Windows 2000 hibernate or shutdown properly after installing Microsoft Media Player 7/7.1?
Answer: After installing Microsoft Windows Media Player 7, Windows 2000 hangs on hibernate or shutdown. This issue has been documented by Microsoft.
Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 / 7.1 has a plug-in for use with Adaptec CD creator software. This plug is automatically installed when you install media player 7 / 7.1. Remove the Adaptec CD Creator plug-in by performing the following:
- Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs.
- Select Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 and click the Change/Remove button.
- Make sure that the ?Remove Windows Media Components? radio button is selected and click Next.
- From the list of components, place a check mark next to ?Adaptec CD-Burning Plug-in? and then click Next.
- Click Next again to remove the component, and then click Finish to restart the computer.
- The computer will hang one more time because the Plug in is loaded to memory. Shut the system down and the problem will go away on subsequent boots.
