Now you know why they call it windows professional, you get the same sort of treatment you do from the other professionals, as in the oldest profession.

Seriously, this can becaused by not having the right software, or incorrect software settings in your Win XP setup or the BIOS. For the software restart option to work your system has to be able to accept a software shutdown and start up command and the hardware, BIOS and operating system has to be set up to allow it to work.

Check the power and start up settings in the BIOS first.

Don't use that button. Instead, look on the back of the keyboard and search the internet for that one. Look on the manufacturer's website to see if other people have had the same problem. They'll be able to post a fix to that problem.

What has happened is the batch or script file was overwritten with windows and there is not much you can do about that.
