Shutdown Problem

[prinsipe]

I have an ATX case. Usually when you shutdown the computer, it automatically turns of.

Now im getting the message: "Its now safe to turn of your computer" im not geting this message before but now i am.

Im have dual boot PC (Win98SE and XP) both shuts down well before but now XP doesnt.

I have tried to tinker with the power options and the likes but to no avail.

Please help, thanks!

In WinXP, go to power settings and there may be a tab labelled "APM", if you go to that and tick the "Enable" option. Click OK and it should be fine then

However, if you use ACPI rather than APM, I'm not sure how that would be resolved... I'd have a look to see if the APM option is there first though.

check your BIOS to make sure that ACPI is enabled
