Hi

I can see that several people have been having similar problems over
the last 9 months or so, but haven't been able to see a fix for this.
Occasionally (not every time) that I select Windows Restart, then my
system will shut down instead. At first, I thought I had selected the
wrong option, but have noticed this problem several times now in the
last month. Unfortunately, its probably a bit late to use System
Restore.

I am running XP Home, which is pretty up to date in terms of security
patches. I just wonder if that is where I have picked up this problem?

Any ideas ?
 
Thanks for the link. I've looked at this but there is nothing here
unfortunately that fixes my problem. There seem to be plenty of fixes
for "if XP restarts on shutdown" but nothing at all for when "XP
shutsdown when asked to restart" - which is the problem that I'm
experiencing.
