| 380847 | 2005-08-14 03:16:00 | Have installed Xp pro on this old 800Mh PC Co machine that won't run properly on ME now.So far so good,after getting all the correct drivers,(3 reinstalls later) ,only thing is it comes to the last screen and says that you can now turn your pc off,as Windows has closed down, so I have to hold in the bootup button to get it to close down.Must be a simple fix? | Neil McC (178) | ||

| 380849 | 2005-08-14 03:33:00 | Have a look here (www.theeldergeek.com) I have also done it via "Add new Hardware" in control panel. If it doesn't automatically find it, you can choose it as APM power management. |

| 380850 | 2005-08-14 03:33:00 | Either install the correct video drivers, or go to control panel / power options / advanced / power management tab or something if its there and tick it. See if it shuts down then. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 380851 | 2005-08-14 04:07:00 | Its controlled by the BIOS. You could try a BIOS update.. | pctek (84) | ||
| 380852 | 2005-08-14 05:22:00 | Thanks very much every one. The answer was..... Click [Start] [Control Panel] [Performance and Maintenance] [Power Options] The Power Options Properties Property Sheet will open. Click the APM tab and check the box to [Enable Advanced Power Management Support] Nice and simple when you know how!! One less problem. Thanks again. |
