Recently installed W2K. No issues (that I'm aware of).
However, computer will not power off. Can get through
whole shutdown process just fine and receive "It is now ok
to turn off computer" but when press power button, nothing
happens. Don't think it's a hardware issue as computer
turns on just fine. Thanks for any help/direction.

Will look at the other post again but assumed it was
unrealted since shutdown, in my case, does work.

Tried holding the power switch but will try again.
Computer is actually from 1999 so not sure if that's new
enough to "count" in this case.
 
Newer power supplies require that you press and hold the power switch for
about 10 seconds to force a shut-down from windows...

Also, there is another thread in this group dealing with how to fix the "It
is now OK to turn off the computer" problem.
