I have XP Pro SP2, and my computer has no trouble at all with restarting, but it will not power off when I shutdown. When I shutdown from the start menu or using the shutdown.exe command, it closes out of windows, but then my pc just sits there with the power on and a blank screen. Then I have to hold in the power button to shutdown. It's annoying, since I'd like to schedule my computer to shut itself down.
I'm going to see if I can find anything useful on that link to the ms site... I now believe it's probably not usb. However, it just started out of the blue so I can't be sure. My mobo has a an ACPI compatibility issue, but this has not caused this problem in the past...
Most recent system changes: added usb 2.0 card, 2nd hard drive
I'd appreciate any ideas...
Thanks.
Specs:
Athlon Thunderbird 1333
Iwill kk266-r motherboard (with Award Bios)
Geforce 4 ti4200
1 Gb PC133 (yeah old school)
other: wintv card, audigy, usb 2.0 pci card... etc...
