Automatic Shutdown

[Patrick]

My PC will no longer automaticly shut down. I must push
the power button to turn off the CPU.

I am running XP Home. How can I restore the automatic
shutdown?

Thank you

This problem is usually caused by APM systems on which XP is installed
because APM (Advanced Power Management) is not enabled by default in XP.

Right click a blank space on your desktop, select properties, go to the
Screen Saver tab and click the Power button under Monitor power. Go to the
APM tab and select "Enable Advanced Power Management support."

If you see no such tab, go to Start and right click My Computer, select
Properties, go to the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button under
Device Manager.

In device manager, select the View menu, and turn on show hidden devices.
In the device manager window, you will now see an entry for NT Apm/Legacy
Support (If you see no such entry, skip to the bottom of this message and
try the suggested link), expand it, and bring up the properties for the
node.

In the device usage drop down list, select Use this device (enable)
Hit the OK button and then close the device manger.
You may need to reboot, but now it should shut your computer completely off
on shutdown.

If none of the above applies, or helps, try the following site:

Go to...Start / Control Panel. --> Power Options. --> APM tab
--> APM enable.

or you have to change a setting in the power management of
the bios.

Hi,

To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Recovery/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 which includes the prompt
for the patch once your system has been cleaned.

This script removes all variants of the W32.Blaster.Worm (original, B, C, D,
E and F) and will inform you whether or not the patch is already installed.

a small screen that says that Windows AND my computer is going to shut down
in so many seconds.. And the countdown starts. It says something such as
the "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM". (The system and everything really shut down).

Make sure you install a better firewall then the windows
firewall. Like zonealarm(free) or nortons(purchase).
The windows firewall just stops incoming traffice but
doesnt monitor/stop outgoing(like worms/spyware/trojans..).
