i have re-installed windows XP pro following a CPU and
motherboard change.
Now my computer will not power down automatically as it
used to.
I have checked the BIOS settings and also checked the
motherboard handbook for relevent settings to no avail.
How do I set auto shutdown????

Its a simple thing but it's driving me nuts.

found that by removing Logitech mouseware 9.1 my standby
