Re: It is safe now to turn-off computer

First of all check out this link:

But before doing that make sure that your computer & bios are ACPI
compliant... don't worry the link above tells you how to do that. I haven't
upgraded from Win98 to Win2000 in quite a while (like 3-4 years) but I do
remember there was a GIANT emphasis on making sure to upgrade (or flash)
your bios. Maybe that was just a thing of the times, but maybe there was
something to it...
