XP SP2 Suddenly Can't Shut Down, Reboots

[FKS]

First, "restart on failure" is unchecked in my system. The system correctly
shuts down when I click on "turn off" in the safe mode/safe mode w/ network.
However, after normal booting, the system reboots when I click on "turn
off." Again, "restart on failure" is unchecked and I see no BSOD or warning
messages during shutdown. What might cause this? The system worked fine
yesterday and I didn't change a thing in the system today.

Hi FKS,

Have a look at the information presented at James A. Eshelman's Windows XP
Shutdown & Restart Troubleshooting:

Click on "Reboots on Shutdown" in the left sidebar
