My XP Pro machine no longer stays shut down after I shut it down via the
START button. It does go through the shutdown process and the screen goes
blank - but then it starts up again. This problem occurred a few months ago
and I couldn't find how to fix it. I finally fixed it by the sledgehammer
means of reformatting the drive and reinstalling XP. But now after two
months, the problem is back again. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
