Thanks to a few of you guys, windows now shuts down fully (computer powers off), but once the power is down it automatically restarts which is rather annowing. Does any one know what this might be??

You may want to take a look at the ACM Memory Management settings in your system's power control panel. Make sure this option is selected.

Your BIOS should also be configured for power management *prior* to installing Win2k. If not, the option will likely not exist in the power control panel.

In 2000 there is a problem with Power Management - when I turn PM on, the computer restarts every time I shut my PC down or hibernate. Without PM (PM off) everything goes well.

Sorry folks, But I have the same problem. When I shutdown, I get the message "Windows is now shutting down, Then Saving your settings. Several seconds later, A black screen appears for about 5 to 7 seconds. This is the time I MUST Hit my power button, otherwise, the computer restarts. This is not the bata, but the full upgrade of Win 2000 Professional.

I have the same problem on my WIn2k system. The problem first occured after installing SP1 on my system. I have tried all the options with APM settings and BIOS settings, but nothing, system still restarts instead of shutting down. The problem is present even after I removed SP1.
If somebody has a solution for this, send me an e-mail.
Thnx

I face this problem too.

I just found out the reason why my PC restarts after I have shut down the PC. Actually there is an error in the shut down process and I enable the Automatically reboot if System Failure feature. It restarts whenever error occurs. That’s why. It is caused by the ZipMagic application. My PC able to shut down properly after I uninstall this application

If you have enable the Automatic reboot if System Failure option, try to disable it to see is it the shut down error.

I hope this info. will help
