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
the 'root' posting:
APM issue: computer reboots on Shutdown, locks up on Stand Byhttp://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win2000.general/brows...
And my similar posting on the ASUS discussion board (that's my MB
manufacturer):
P4C800-E MB reboots on Windows Power Down?http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus/browse...
hemlockgrove: found this well-organized, exhaustive list of reasons
why Windows may reboot instead of shutdown (everything from System
Properties' default 'reboot after system error' setting to cleaning
the contacts on your front-panel power switch):

So far I'm still having the reboot problem, but have fixed the related
Standby lockup problem and have yet to work through the entire aumha
list. For me, I think it was the above System Properties setting and/
or having 2 wireless USB devices plugged into my MB's direct jacks.
