| 685469 | 2008-07-05 22:49:00 | Did he change the settings in Desktop right-click/Screensaver/Power? | annie (6010) | ||
| 685470 | 2008-07-06 01:05:00 | When you say it wont turn of, does it close to a screen saying "It is Now Safe to Turn Off Your Computer" If so, have a look on the Microsoft help & support site, there is an article explaining how to get around that. |

| 685471 | 2008-07-06 02:30:00 | As Annie was saying.... Have you checked the "Power Options" and make sure "APM" is set to on (check box has a tick) To get there the way annie suggest's Right-click an empty bit on the your desktop and select Properties. Select Screensaver tab and click the "Power" button (bottom right) The "Power Options" pane will appear, select the "APM" tab. Make sure the APM checkbox has a tick... |

| 685472 | 2008-07-06 06:58:00 | Hi Al thanks for al your reply's! Before the computer turned itself of, the "It is safe to turn off your pc" never came up, it does since the guy messed with it, also to answer bevy's question I dont see a button at the power control that says AMP. I have googled almost al morning and still can not find the answer | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 685473 | 2008-07-06 08:02:00 | By any chance do you have any of the following installed on your PC -- Logitech mouse drivers Adaptec/Roxio software Zone Alarm If you do , press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager. Click the Applications tab. In the Task column, click the program that you want to quit, and then click End Task. Quit Task Manager. See if the computer will now shutdown normally |

| 685474 | 2008-07-06 08:31:00 | Just something to check in the BIOS - load the BIOS Screen, move down using the Arrow keys, select Power Management Setup <Enter> make sure ACPI is set to Enabled. Power Management should also be set to User Define. If it is, then you may also have a faulty Power Supply, I have seen that message on several customers PC's, change the PSU and it shuts down as normal. What is your PC,- a name brand ( Dell, HP, Compaq or a built up) ? |
