Upgrade to XP

[Guest]

I updated my OS from Win-98 to XP my computer used to shut down all the way
off now I get a message telling me it is OK to turn the machine off.

Is there a setting to make XP shut the machine all the way down.
(Power off)

Thanks

There's good information on shutdown problems here:
