XP Shut Down

I recently put XP on my home computer. Unlike my other computers that shut down fully when I shut down, this machine stops near the end and gives me a message "that I can turn off the computer now," or something similar. Any ideas how I can change this so that it just shuts down all the way? Thanks.

Just in case! The old AT systems were not capable of turning power off. You need an ATX system to do that.
