WinME shutdown problem

[alferret]

when shutting down WinME around 59% of the time it hangs for about 20 seconds then BSOD stating

<< Windows protection error you need to restart your machine >>

. I switch off with the pwr switch.
this problem isnt program related because it happens nomatter what i have running or not.
TIA

I had that error before. It was related to my Nvidia Detonator drivers. I changed them and have enver seen that screen at shutdown since.

thanx

5.32, i installed 5.22 but MS had the 5.32 update.

By the way, on the TNT2 series, the 5X deotnators give better performance.
