259500 2004-08-08 08:18:00 Just finished installing XP Pro on a machine that was running 98SE. On powerdown the machine would switch itself off after leaving Windows. Now it tells me that the machine is "able to be turned off" and I have to press the on/off switch for a few moments. Is the "fix" an XP one or do I have to retweak the BIOS? Sorry to throw in what should be a remembered action, but I can't seem to put my finger on it.
Cheers,
Ken

This page (www.annoyances.org) may also help.

As I have commented before, your blood's worth bottling!!
The section on Powerdown was on the button "the APM/NT Legacy Power Node may not be enabled". Those little tweaks one has used before but can never remember what they were. Guess that little Cardfile programme will be getting well used, eh. Once again, many thanks. I have another query, but that can wait for a couple of days. Only have one question for you. As usual, you were fast out of the starting blocks with the answer. Do you never sleep??!!?
Kind regards,
Ken
