XP Shutdown

[Mike]

Before upgrading from 98 to XP my computer shutoff
automatically. Now when I tell XP to shut down it tells
me it's safe to shut my computer off and I have to shut
it down manually (minor thing, but!). How do I get XP to
shut it off automatically like before?

After I installed XP Pro, It did that too. I had to go into my power
settings and enable APM. After that, it shuts off no problem. I also like
the neat Hibernate feature, although not sure if all computers can do this.
