Im not sure if this is the right place to post this (moderator please move if its not, sorry).

Basically... When I press Shutdown on XP it restarts? It doesnt turn off?? Im not sure if its a Bios thing or a setting in XP?
 
Has it always done this? If so, the reason could be the power-management of your PC is not compatible with WinXP. The file that controls this is "hal.dll" (Hardware Abstraction Layer). See if you can find one from your Main Board manufacturer's website. And replace it with the one in your "windows/system32" folder.

Kind regards,

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
