Hi

For shutdown/restart problems, please have a look at MVP Jim Eshelman's web

A probable cause is that your installation found the BIOS does not
adequately support the `Advanced Configuration & Power Interface`
(ACPI). It then installs the older APM, but leaves it disabled. Go to
Control Panel - Power Options, and if there is an APM page, check
`Enable APM` on it.
