re: Reactivating the ''It is now safe to.....'' Message Saturday, January 17, 2004 at 3:24 pm Posted by m.lawrence (69 messages posted) What kind of computer do you have?Most newer computers shut down automatically,before showing the "It is now safe.."message.If your power button does not stay in when you turn the power off then that is a computer that will shut down faster so you will not see that message.Mine for instance will say "please wait" and then just shut off two seconds later.

If the system just shuts down automatically without showing the screen, this could be considered normal.

Message Monday, January 19, 2004 at 1:55 pm Posted by Jim Sawyer (3 messages posted) I have an older machine running a PenII, with Win98SE. The Message does not come up and the machine does not turn off automatically. I would like to have the message come up. Any instruction would be appreciated.

I played with the startup and shutdown screens, and that is fun, but I want the pc to shut off when I'm done. If you decide to do this use: Regedit MyComputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Shutdown The keeey in the right pane is FastReboot Modify the value to zero Close, and it's done On Saturday, January 17, 2004 at 1:08 pm, Jim Sawyer wrote: >This message no longer appears when I turn my computer off.

Message Wednesday, January 28, 2004 at 8:14 am Posted by Jim Sawyer (3 messages posted) I went to the Registry as you suggested and found the FastReboot key set to value "0". There was also a Default with a "value not set" setting. The message still does not come up. Any suggestions? Were you able to make your machine shut down automatically? That would even be better. If you were successful, how did you do it? Thanks for your response and help.
