Hi

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

Anthony,

Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click Power
Options.
Click the APM tab.
Check to select the Enable Advanced Power Management Support check box, and
then click OK.
