New "thingy" - If I do a ReStart the computer completely shuts down, like
power Off.
How do I get it back the way is was originally - ReStart means restart.

It sometimes does with some machines - I suspect a conflict with the way
the BIOS and hardware work not matching Windows Power management. May
happen pre-SP2 or be brought on by changes in that

Frankly the easiest is to let it shut down then power on again - it only
adds a few seconds, as it would go right back to power up state anyway
