When CHKDSK (Scan disk ) is finished,it request that you
wait until Windows restarts---it never restarts. I always
have to shut off the power to the computer, and then turn
the computer back on. It has never restarted on its own.

Cliff;

That is the way it works.
YOU have to reboot the computer to get Error Checking (chkdsk) to
run. It is NOT automatic.
 
Wesley,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I do reboot the computer, and
run ChkDsk, and successfully. However, when ChkDsk is
finished, it tells me to wait for windows to restart---it
never does. I have to turn off the power to the computer
( the power button on the computer does not respond, I
have to pull the plug), and then manually restart the
computer.

So, the problem is: when Chkdsk is finished, the computer
locks-up.

Cliff;

I misunderstood you.

Try this:
Right click the Desktop | Properties | Screen Saver tab |
Power button | Advanced tab | When I press the power
button on my computer: | Shut down | Apply | OK | OK
