Shutdown Question
« on: July 06, 2005, 07:09:21 AM »
I recently installed a new Hard drive to my computer a Gateway running Windows 2000.  Before the new harddrive when I clicked the shutdown button my computer would shutdown completely.  Now when I click the shutdown button, it shuts down but I then have to press the button on my tower to finish the shutdown.  Is there a way that I can get it back to shutting down without this extra step.

Thanks

Try enabling APM in the Control Panel Power Settings.

    Is this a new OS install or is it an additional HDD?

    Thanks Mac, I'll give that a try.  And Fred it is a new OS installation.

    Thanks
