Computer won't shut down

[mark]

My computer (XP Pro) doesn't shut down properly. When I
go to the start button and select turn of computer and
then turn off the system restarts. It wasn't always this
way and the system shut down properly when the OS was
first loaded. After some software upgrades (drivers,
SPs, etc.) and the addition of applications the problem
arose. Any help in getting the system to shut down using
the turn off option from the start menu is appreciated.

Thanks.
