Okay, so after "enabling this NT/APM Legacy Power Node" (which I do have, windows xp pro sp2), I find that after I choose to shutdown the computer, it restarts itself?! Now what? I also have APM enabled, and APM manage by O.S. in the BIOS enabled, and have tried different combinations of this with no avail!
