Do you get that far ? If this is the case have a look at 'support.microsoft.com Are you getting an error during shutdown ? By switch is this like a Light switch for off and on ? Jess	Guest (0)

As for XP not shutting down is usually a result of it not thinking your computer APM (Advance Power Management) may not work. Anyway you could try going into your display properties by right clicking on your desktop and choosing properties. From there choose the screen saver tab and then the power button then the APM tab and check that APM is enabled. HTH (Was using Win2k to describe the steps as Im not at my XP machine)	Guest (0)
