Unhappy

Hi

I have just re-installed Windows XP Professional and I have run into a little problem. Before, my computer would shutdown automatically and everything would turn off, but now everything shuts down OK but I now get the message that "I may now switch off my computer" How can I get things back to the way it was???

Cheers

You probably need to turn on the APM (Advanced Power Management) features.

Its just a single check box in the power options box. (See image below)

Question

I have the exact same problem as Stubarru, only I'm using Win 98SE. I have looked in Power Management (control panel) with no success. Can anyone help please?

Andrew

common prob with 98SE...it's summat to do with the way microsoft made it...sh1te!!


what you need is the updates....


www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/corporate.asp

download the shutdown supplement and mapped drives shutdown updates.
run both of them when downloaded and restart..should solve your probs

best to save them onto a floppy too so you can use themagain if you need to
