This is nice and I've used it a few times on 98/98SE. The snag is that
I can find no way of turning the computer off, it goes to the 'safe to
turn off puter' screen and then hangs.
So the only times I have used it I have used it with a timer at the
electric socket...

AFAIK, you will need a more modern puter... one with an ATX power
supply.

Yep.

But I cannot bring myself to buy a new puter in order to use a dinky
little freeware app; i thought it was bad enough spending 10GBP to get
a timer for the electric socket. :-)

I'm curious. Can your computer turn itself off normally, or does it only
"hang" at the final screen when you use this app? If your computer can't
turn itself off, did you expect this app to do something that your
computer is not physically capable of doing?

Yes. It was months ago I looked for an app of this kind and AMP WinOFF
was easily the best; none of them however were able to physically turn
the puter off. I researched it at the time, but forget what the reason
is.

I'm always amused at how many "shutdown" utilities there are.

Hell, I thought the best way to shut down a Windows machine was to try
to run something - IE perhaps.

That usually shuts it down real fast!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
