I have looked on Windows knowledge base & followed directions for the Advanaced power options. Yet I continue to have the same problems. Once selecting Shutdown option from Start, you are prompted with it is now safe to turn off your computer. How do you select for the computer to shut down from the shutdown option?

I had a similar issue with Windows NT. Here is a link that may help you. It is for Windows NT/200/XP.

Copy and paste this link into your web browser:

XP does not always enable APM.

In device manager, from the view menu, select view hidden devices.

Right click on APM and select enable.

If APM is not present in device manager, you may need to enable APM / ACPI in BIOS settings.
