360208 2005-06-01 08:07:00 My computer always displays the "It is now safe to turn off your computer"
I hasnt always, i used to go off straight away with Win98
Now i use Windows XP Pro It wont do it

Is there anything i can do in Windows or the BIOS to make it shutdown properly again?

360209 2005-06-01 08:11:00 Did u install the videocard drivers? Speedy Gonzales (78)
360210 2005-06-01 08:12:00 Video Card Drivers i dont know what that has got to do with it but yes Dannz (1668)
360211 2005-06-01 08:18:00 Well with some videocard drivers u wont shutdown.

Or it could be the power supply isnt an ATX one. Or the power management in BIOS isnt enabled.

360212 2005-06-01 08:21:00 Power Supply - good point.
It is a different one than usual (the other one died)
but i will look in the bios

360213 2005-06-01 08:24:00 I did a google search :D
Found that APM needs to be enabled in windows so i will do a shutdown and check
