Automatic Shut down

[Guest]

I recently re installed Windows XP Home after a disk corruption and now the
automatic shutdown no longer operates instead I get the message "It is now
safe" etc. Where do I look for the settings to enable auto shutdown and what
should they be please?

Hi johnnyboy,

A good place to start is Jim Eshelman's WINDOWS XP SHUTDOWN & RESTART
TROUBLESHOOTING:

Click on POWERDOWN ISSUES in the left sidebar

Hi D, you're up early today! The answer lies in Control Panel\power
options\APM and check the APM box, many thanks to you all J
