    Hi people, Have used you experts before and was very impressed.

    My problem this time is:-

    I have loaded XP Prof. as a replacement for ME on a computer I am playing with. When I close it down it says "it is now safe to turn off your computer" and that is it. It does not turn off on it's own like it did with ME (and like it does on my "good" computer. There is presumably a setting somewhere that needs enabling?

    Your advice as always is appreciated.

    Thanks, Graham.

    if you go into Control Panel, and open "Power management" is there an "APM" tab? If you click on it, does it show a check for Enable Advanced Power management Support?
