I am using Win XP and I have problem shutting down my pc. My pc can only stop at the level where it display "It Is Safe To Turn Off Your Computer". And I have to turn off my pc by closing the power supply. Is there any way for me to shut down my pc properly ?

Hi

You should go to Microsoft's knowledge base and search for articles detailing how to troubleshoot shutdown problems. Search for shutdown, and you then choose the appropriate article. If this does help, then try www.aumha.org/a/shutdown.htm

Check your BIOS settings. Usually, APM (automatic power management) settings need to be set so that your machine will automatically shut down when powered down. If that doesn't work, Check out the TechHelp on Win XP. I have heard of this problem quite a bit so there should be some help out there for you.
