35486 2002-02-13 02:03:00 Have a computer which used to turn itself off when you selected shutdown. Now all you get is a message saying that it is safe to turn your computer off.When you push the off switch the screen goes blank and you have to hold the switch off for about 5 seconds before the computer switches off
It is an ATX with 900mh duron, 256 mb ram and am running Win 98 2nd edition as well office xp and various programes and games.The computer is only a month or so old.
can anyone give me a clue as to what to do to fix this? Many Thanks.

Its the Microsoft website, and you gotta download a shutdown patch. Once installed your comp should be sweet.
