Hello. Hope you can solve a problem I am experiencing. When I try to close Windows XP down instead of shutting down the P.C. restarts instead (very annoying). The only advice I have been given so far is to restart Windows from scratch (f*ck that!). Can you suggest anything? Hope to hear from you soon, Dave. big.red@blueyonder.co.uk

Thanks a million chuck. Turns out is what 'Roxio CD Creator' that was causing it. Got a patch from there site, everything is now OK. Thanks again, Dave.
