Winnt32.exe Forces Restart Even When Other Programs Are Open with Unsaved Data

Q254276



The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server





SUMMARY

When you run Winnt32.exe to upgrade Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows NT to Windows 2000, you receive the following prompt if other programs are running with unsaved data:

Save Document?

If you click Cancel, the computer is restarted and you have no opportunity to save the data.



MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is unchanged from Windows NT 4.0 and earlier versions. Winnt32.exe calls the ExitWindowsEx(EWX_FORCE) API to restart the computer. The only way to interrupt the restart is to click "Don't restart now" when you are prompted.

Additional query words: reboot shutdown setup install installation
