Hi everyone,

When I go to Start --> Shutdown....... the computer will actually restart
instead of turning off. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to look
to try to fix this?

I have disabled Restart in the StartUp options and still nothing.

I am using Windows XP PRO SP1 with all the critical updates, AMD 1600+,
512Mb RAM, Asus A7V266-E Motherboard, Asus 7700 Ti Geforce2 Video Card.

Thanks,
Ryan
 
You may want to check the BIOS power settings. There may be a power
management setting conflicting with what Windows is trying to do.
 
ThankYou..... It ended up being "Activate on USB Activity" that was the
culprit!! I can now finally shutdown!!
