Hi there, I am trying Xp and I get this screen it is now safe to turn off windows. I find that annoying if I have to push the POWER BUTTON to turn it off instead of it shutting down on its own. You have anything I can download to fix that?Windows 98 ......what do you have your option set as ?


Let us know
dl65  Take at look at the Power Options in the Control Panel and see if APM is enabled.



Click on the APM tab.

I have it on shutdown, do you know when you have your shut down screen and it turns off on its own? I get that black screen that says its now safe to turn off windows. It stays FROZEN on that screen till I hit the power button and hold it for 3 sec before it shuts off =(Is your PC capable of being shut down that way.  Not all PCs are, but most newer ones are.

Windows98......Is the Win XP your trying an upgrade from win 98 or is it a full install . Is it XP Home or XP Pro .

dl65  Have you checked to see if APM is enabled in your BIOS?is this a laptop........what are the bios settings....?is it set on hibenate?? on power seettings and not power off?>>shutdown
