Turn Off Computer

[Jeremy J Carlson]

Can someone help? When I shut down XP on my computer, it
reboots instead of switching itself off. This is a
nuisance.

do you have Esy cd creator 5 on your system, if so then that could be your
problem, go to the Roxio web page and get the latest update.

Hi Jeremy,

Disable everything that reads 'Wake up' in the BIOS settings. Also, I have
seen this behavior if you have a CD/DVD in the drive during a shutdown.
