How do i get xp to close down the power

[Robert]

Hi
When i turn off the computer i get a message "it is now
safe to turn off the power". Hence, I have to turn it off
manually. Must be a way to have the machine turn off the
power for me.
Thank you in advance.
Robert

Either your computer is too old to shut down
automatically, or you need to install windows updates.
