Shut Down problem
It has recently been necessary for me to reinstall XP,
now I've done so all I get is the message 'it is now safe to turn off your computer,' The only way I can do this is by using the main power switch, the on/off switch on the computer does nothing. I have followed instructions I was supplied with the last time this happened but no luck this time. To make it as brief as possible, I checked in BIOS that ACPI was enabled, but device manager still shows it as a Standard PC. A BIOS update is not available. I can do nothing in Power Options advanced tab, the only option given is to show the icon on the taskbar. I have also been into the Registry and changed Powerdown, etc. from 0 to 1 (this cured it last time) As I am now stumped for what else to do, hope someone out there can come up with the solution. |
