| 97609 | 2002-11-10 22:23:00 | Any suggestions please. When I press shutdown to close windows, it gets to the message (Win is shutting down) then reboots by itself. Any suggestions please. Pibs |

| 97610 | 2002-11-10 22:28:00 | How long has it done this? I think it may have something to do with Advanced Power Management (APM). Check by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting properties Click the Screen Saver Tab. Click on Power down the bottom right Check to see if there is a Tab on the new window labelled APM. What are the settings in there? Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 97612 | 2002-11-10 22:53:00 | The only other thing that I can think of is that you download a ShutDown patch. Goto: http://www.windowsupdate.com there should be a shutdown patch for 98, it should be less than 1 Meg, but get all that are related to shutdowns. Get back to me if you're still having troubles. Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 97614 | 2002-11-21 06:05:00 | Hi C.S. Thank's for the suggestion on the PC not shutting down and restarting by itself, I have been out of town for a while. Anyway on reflection the only thing I had added was the Nortons suite of PC care, (not the Anti Virus though) I removed it from the PC and hey presto the computer shuts down, still no message safe to turn off, but I have never had that luxury anyway. Thanks again Pibs PS new problem will put it on the forum for general interest. |
