When I shut down the computer, Windows 2000 goes through the usual procedure, saying it's saving my settings, then that Windows is closing down. Then, instead of closing down normally and giving me the "No signal" message, it just hangs, on a blackish (teal?) screen with a white cursor flashing at the top left. The only way to shut down is to switch off with the on-off switch, because ALT-CTRL-CANC won't work. However, if I reboot in Safe Mode, it does shut down properly. I don't suppose The Bat is responsible either, but the guy who installed the new hard disc said to try uninstalling and reinstalling everything to see if that fixed the problem. -- Mary -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Scopri RIS il sistema di ricarica infinita.

I'm running a similar vintage TB on Windows 2k, as you can see from my signature. While I sometimes have trouble shutting down TB because it's locked up waiting for the Connection Center to finish whatever it's doing, it's never interfered with Windows shutting down. And this is over several years on multiple computers. I'd seriously doubt that TB is to blame for the system problems, especially if you're not launching it explicitly. There aren't any processes running in the background to interfere with Windows operation.

When the windowing station is shutting down, all running applications receive a message as such. Well behaved applications ensure that they can be shutdown and terminate themselves. However, since some application may not be in a clean state for shutdown (e.g., a word processor with unsaved documents), an application can tell Windows to abort the shutdown. Poorly or maliciously programmed applications can halt the shutdown for no reason by responding to the shutdown message appropriately. In newer versions of Windows (Windows Vista, I believe), this vector has been reduced by only allowing applications to delay, but not halt, a shutdown or log-off. -- Chris Using The Bat! v3.85.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2.

It will, yes. Open Registry (start|run|regedit) and go to the folder...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\rit\
...and delete entire \rit folder.
*
If you want though to {pre|con}serve your settings, then before the
deletion save/export the related registry file (select the \rit folder,
then Registry | Export Registry File...).
*
If you want to install TB again at the same place/position/path (eg.
C:\Program Files\The Bat!), then just compress/copy entire \The Bat!
folder and export its registry file.
Then the new installation would consist of just extracting/copying \The
Bat! folder to the previous place, and then of running the registry
file.

If you didn't run the installer, there won't be any entry in Add/Remove Programs, since you didn't install anything.

How to uninstal The Bat 1.x?
I recently had to get a new hard drive, and I'm now having problems with it, because Windows 2000 won't shut down properly. The guy who installed the hard drive said something must have gone wrong with one of the programs I installed after he delivered it, and to try uninstalling and reinstalling them. I've done a virus scan with AVG in safe mode, but it didn't find anything. I've uninstalled most of the programs, but I can't work out how to uninstal The Bat. I have version 1.60h, and according to the Help file, I should uninstall it from the Add/Remove programs part of the Windows Control Panel, but it isn't there. When I reinstalled it, I didn't go through Add/Remove programs - I just double-clicked on thebat.exe . Can anyone suggest how I should uninstal it? I could just delete the folder, but I assume that'll leave stuff in the Registry.
