1357034 2001-10-21 10:54:00 How do I make windows 2000 turn off my atx case when it says 'It's now safe to turn off your computer' on that crappy screen?? It just halts and I have to hold my power button down for 5 seconds which is very annotying.

Thanks

if you don't have an ACPI compliant motherboard you can usually switch on APM using the Power applet in the control panel. This will turn your computer off after shutdown.
