XP-Pro Won’t shut down

Locked

by md3mnx · about 18 years, 7 months ago

Hi,

I am running windows XP-Pro but when I go to close down the computer it won’t close! but restarts, so I have to manually shut it of from the power button. What can be the problem? I have checked that the APM is enabled in the BIOS but I still have this problem.

Hope someone has an answer to this

Regards

Mike
