I've had this problem for a long time. After shutting off the computer it
automatically restarts. This happens about 90% of the time. Sometimes it
shuts down like it's supossed to. But when it doesn't I have to shut it down
manually each time. My computer otherwise works perfectly. I have Windows
XP Home Edition. Any help woul dbe appreciated! Thanks.

Hi MarkG74,

Have a look at the information presented at James A. Eshelman's Windows XP
Shutdown & Restart Troubleshooting:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/shtdwnxp.htm
Click on the "Reboots On Shutdown" link in the left sidebar
