Go to system properties in Control Panel - go to tab marked startup/shutdown and deselct reboot on error or similar check box. You may get a BSOD but it should detail the problem.

This also fixes WindowsXP not shutting all the way off!

BSOD is an official Microsoft term aka the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH... the blue screen you get when Windows dies an untimely death... which we all see frequently.

As far as I know, as it happened to me, the problem happens if ACPI is NOT enabled in BIOS when win2k is loaded. Simply enabling it afterwards will not work (something to do with the HAL hardware abstraction layer I think). The recommended route is to boot to the cd and run the repair option. Hope this helps.

Sam, In the control panel it is in System properties, and then in the Advanced tab, there is a startup and recovery button which gives the option of 'Automatically reboot' when there is a system failure. But I tried this and it did not work... so John Malcolm's suggestion may be the only way...

YES! That is it: "make sure the advanced power management (APM, API...or something) setting is enabled in control panel, power settings...that fixed for me" It is in the Power icon in the Control Panel: APM tab, enable it. Mike in NH
