    When computer shuts down, it starts back up.
    « on: May 18, 2008, 11:59:25 AM »
    When I shut the computer down, in about a minute it starts back up.  I thought I had a virus in the computer so I completely restore the computer.  The computer is a compaq presario 6000

    Try unplugging any USB devices & see if it still happens

        I recently subscribe to Road Runner and when I unplugged that cable the computer does not start back up.  What do I do Next?

        Road Runner? isn't that Time Warner's cable internet service? If so,  and you are using a USB cable to link the cable modem to the PC, you could try using an Ethernet cable instead. It usually works better that way.

          could that not be the result of Wake-On-Lan (WOL) features on a network card?
