Weird think is happening to me....I use xp pro with a gf4 ti 4400 and a p4
2.4   and installed the nas2003 and dx 9.
But after using the nascar 2003 without problems,my pc dont shut down....I
click shut down or restart and the pc executes a consistencie check on hard
drive...
I play all the games very well,  gpl  ,  nas2002 ,and ut 2003 ,but only
after nascar 2003 this happens..

Hi Mario :-)

Exactly the same thing happens to mine. Mine, though, only happens if I
leave the pc on for a long time....if I reboot, it will then shut down.

Well, the simple answer is that you have a service or TSR in the background
that Windows cannot shut down properly.

The hard part is finding it.

See if you can do a ctrl-alt-del and bring up the task manager when it
happens.  Look at the processes and see what is still there.  It's likely
that one of them is the culprit.

I didn't see the operating system mentioned, but if it's Windows 98se, there
is a design flaw in that OS that can make this nearly impossible to fix.
Microsoft never did fix it properly and it can be triggered by just about
anything.
