Shut Down

[Kim]

I updraded a Compaq Deskpro from Windows NT to Windows
2000. Now I can't hardly get the computer to turn off
using the power button. What am I missing?

try

Start
Run
type
Regedit

<Registry Editor Opens>

Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft\Windows NT
CurrentVersion
Winlogon

right hand pane option

PowerdownAfterShutdown

The value should be set to 0 not 1

hope that helps?

I tried this and it is already set to 0 (zero). Any
other clues.

Thanks
