I've had this (Asus) system running with XP SP1 for quite a while. A
fresh install of SP2 fails to turn off power when Start->Turn off
Computer is selected.

No flags under Dev Mgr->View->Show Hidden. I don't have any obvious
options under Power Management.

Another SP2 problem. Any way to fix this?
