Re: Help - How can I make my table top PC shutdown properly?

Rick,

Thank you for so quick reply. I have gone thru APM (Advanced
Power Management). Tried to re-load just about everything. Seems
like SP2 has created some problems. I am still looking for a fix.

| Hi,

| Check the Control Panel/Power Options, on the advanced tab you may need to
| enable APM. It is not enabled by default on some older systems.
