203105 2003-12-25 22:29:00 When I press the power button on my ATX computer, it goes to sleep rather than shutting down. It works if you hold it for 4 seconds (but that's an improper shutdown), and to turn on the computer. When I try to change it in the power properties in Control Panel, there is no option for what to do when the button is pressed. I run Windows 98 on a Celeron 366. george12 (7)
