>XP does not turn the computer off it re-boot, instead.

>I received, already, some much appreciated advise, and
checked:
> No 'Wake up' in the BIOS.
> No CD/DVD in drives.
> If I eliminate the 'automatically restart' - I get a
blue screen
> w/o specifics. So I'm back in 'automatically restart'
>
>However I noticed another "clue" that I ignored so far.
>In the last screen, the "Turn off computer "
>the "Stand by" button is grayed out.
>Only "Turn off" and "Restart" are available.
>Does this teaches us anything?
>Please advise.

>I just installed XP Pro and have experienced the same
problem. No fiexes at this time. Let me know if you
have solved the problem. Thanks
