You have to go into desktop properties and allow apm ( advanced power management) for the auto shut down to work.

If your computer is about 3 years old & no bios update available, response #2 is correct......and yours will not turn off automatically when running xp.

Make sure APM (Advanced Power Management) is enabled in the BIOS.
