Running Windows 2000 Pro SP4 on Pentium II 233Mhz. All storage peripherals
are SCSII. After installing older version of Backup Exec (V4.0 (OEM)) that
came with Seagate tape drive, whenever I try to shutdown, it goes thru normal
shutdown process and then reboots rather than powering down the computer. If
I go to Control Panel | Power Options | APM tab, Enable Advanced Power
management checkbox is checked. Unchecking that does not show "it's now safe
to shut down computer", but still reboots.
I know that I had this same version of Windows 2k pro install with same
Backup Exec running & it shut down & powered off properly, although the
sequence of installation of Backup Exec, SP4, various other programs &
hotfixes probably was different. This current version of Win2k is installed
on drive F:, the other was installed on drive C:
I updated to the latest version of the ASPI layer, but have not updated to
latest Ultra 160 driver (which the F: drive is connected to).

Any suggestions, advice, etc would be most appreciated.

I'd like to know the answer too. Your problem sounds exactly like
mine: same hardware & software shutdown and standby worked fine
before, now after a new install , shutdown reboots & standby locks up.

Sorry, that previous link opened up deep down into the thread. Here's
