We have several pc's here that SP4 was applied to. Some
of them are now rebooting at shutdown, instead of
actually shutting down. Is there a known fix for this? I
have looked everywhere and can not find anything
Thanks

Hi

By default, the computer is configured to automatically restart during a fatal
error. To view this setting, right-click My Computer in Explorer, click the
Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery, and then view the
Automatically restart check box under System Failure. If the Automatically
restart check box is selected, Windows automatically restarts if the computer
stops unexpectedly.

If your computer constantly restarts if you are using the computer or if you
are trying to shut down the computer, click to clear the Automatically restart
check box. If you clear this check box, you receive an error message if a stop
error occurs. This error message may describe the cause of the critical stop
error. You can also review the system log in Event Viewer to view the critical
stop error that occurs when the computer restarts.
