I assume that you have an ATX style motherboard that is suppossed to shut down by itself.

In device manager, you need to enable APM (Advanced Power Management)

You may need to change the view setting in device manager to show all devices.

humm I always thought is was the APM enabled on the motherboard that controls it, not the ACPI in Windows....Ha! learn something new every day
