20807	2001-10-10 01:05:00	Ever since I reinstalled my ME, it doesn't shut down properly. It no longer displays the 'It's now safe to turn off your computer' message which usually appears before my CPU automatically shuts off. Therefore now my CPU cannot automatically shut off and I have to do it manually from the actual plug on the wall. Because of this, I also cannot 'reset' my computer before I turn the computer off from the plug. Does anyone know the cause of this and how to solve it?? Thanks. Yoh	Guest (0)

I did notice that the installations done off the cd were not quite as stable as the ones the technician did. In other words I had faults and problems. The technician recommended that I install ME from the hard drive itself and gave a very long description on how to do it. Just do what I'm going to do next time, take it into the shop and get them to do it. Yes it costs money but is a LOT less frustrating.	Guest (0)
