Recently upgraded OS from 98SEII to XP, now computer does not auto turn off once Windows has shut down, as it did in Win98. Can anyone assist?

Is your power supply ATX compliant? Or an old AT?

It seems that this problem can be caused by many different things. Here are a few suggestions to try:

- If you have "Wake-on-LAN" set in BIOS try to turn it off.

- Set the following key in registry to 1: HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\PowerOffActive

- Enable Advanced Power Management Support. You can find it in Control panel -> Power Options -> APM tab.

- Easy CD creator can cause it. If you have it installed look at their site - maybe they have a patch that fixes it.

You're right. There is one web page with very extensive information about different shutdown problems:
