I cannot turn off my computer since loading XP, help please
The subject pretty much says it all.
With good ol 98 whenever I shutdown the computer would shutdown windows and then the computer.
XP does not do this and I do not have a button on the tower to achieve this. I have to switch off at the wall.
XP must be able to do it but it has got me beat.
Any suggestions?

For your info redsnail the following was the culprit:
When Windows XP won’t powerdown automatically, the APM/NT Legacy Power Node may not be enabled. To enable this, right-click on the My Computer icon, click Properties | Hardware | Device Manager | View. Check the box labeled “Show Hidden Devices.” If it’s available on your computer, there will be a red X on the APM/ NT Legacy Node. Try enabling it and see if this resolves the powerdown problem.
Once again, thanks idgas
