Computer will not shutdown automatically

[Jared Lelos]

Hi, I'm using XP Pro Sp1 and my computer has stopped
shutting down automatically and now it only takes me to
the "its safe to turn off the computer now" screen. I
tried this post on the site for my motherboard (MSI KT3V)
and the bios has ACPI enabled, and windows shows the
system as "MPS uniprocessor". I even installed NT/APM
Legacy Support and now have a APM tab in the power
options but its already checked and the system still does
not shutdown automatically.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
