I just installed WinXP Home upgrade, from Win98.
Everthing seems to have gone well, except now when I Turn
Off the computer from the Start menu and the computer
shutting down, it now gives me the message that, "It is
now safe to turn off your computer." This computer has
never done that before.
I can't find a setting for that, if it exsists.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
