XP Shutdown
Hey guys,
Ok, Prior to reinstalling XP, When I went to shutdown from the start menu, my computer completly shut itself off. After reinstalling, it now goes to the "Its now safe to turn your computer off" screen. Does anyone know how to make it turn itself off again?
Im running Windows XP Pro.

Might wanna check your registry for this key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"PowerdownAfterShutdown"="0"
If this value = "1" then its attemping to shutdown automatically and I would try it on "0" to see if you get past the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" message.
If its 0 then try it as 1
If that doesn't help you may need to check your APM settings
