I have Windows XP prof. ed.
When I click on "Turn off the computer" it restarts instead of turning off.
I have read that this is a known problem.
I have worked for more than a week with this problem without success.

I have read this site: http://www.theeldergeek.com/shutdown_issues_in_xp.htm
I have done the following:
Remove the checkmark from [Automatically Restart] in [System Failure] section.
But the computer restarts without showing any massages.

I don´t have Easy CD creator installed (it seems to be a problem if so ..)

I have updated the driver to the graphic-card.

One thing: If I first click sleeping-mode (right word?) and than, after
activating, click "Turn off the computer" it works fine.

I appreciate any help.
