when i had win98 and i clicked 'shut the computerr down' it shut down and i could walk away. with winXP i have to 'turrn off computerr' and then it says 'it is now safe to turrn yourr computerr off' and i have to hold my 'on' button in until it clicks off. can i change a setting orr something to alterr this, orr am i doomed to waste 11 seconds of my life 4 times a day forr the rrest of my life? |

pressing the on button long does bypass a lock, it doesnt want to be turned off. looks lika a software problem |

I get this weird feeling that I sign a pact with the devil every time i install Windows XP on a computer... personally I stick with Windows 2000 professional. Haven't had a system running this stable EVER. |

that sounds like a problem with motherboard compatibility or sommat.. |

that's weird. I use XP and it always turns off my computer quite nicely. |

i agree with junktion. Win2k is the best microsoft operating system ever. |

I use two PCs regularly: my home PC and my work PC. I've formatted my home PC and installed XP twice and formatted my work PC about 8 times and installed XP each time. And sometimes when I install XP it turns itself off on shut down and sometimes it requires I sit and hold the power button for 5 seconds or so. It either random, or it's something to do with the power options. Like "When I press the power button on my computer..." |

usually this is an AT vs ATX power supply issue. check your device manager under COMPUTER, make sure its ACPI if not, open whatever it sais (prolly STANDARD COMPUTER) go to Update Driver select ACPI, etc go |

oooooooh, words of wisdom. I would agree it is software, nothing to do with the hardware, how bout a new computer anus? |
