I have a question about Making Sure the Correct HAL is Installed:

If you see it is now safe to shutdown your computer and you are using XP, you have a network problem.. To fix that, "do it or not it is up to you," follow this steps... 1- START 2-SETTINGS 3- CONTROL PANNEL 4- SYSTEM 5- HARDWARE 6- DEVICE MNGR 7- VIEW"@ THE TOP MENU, SECOND OPTION." * scroll it down, and you will see a red x on NT and something like that"i can't remember all of it." Highlight that then @top you have icons which stands for disable, enable* you need to enable" it is a small computer Icon." The red X will dissapear.. try it to shutdown.. Wallaaaaaaaaa, Problem solved.. Have a nice day... and contripute your ideas to annoyances.org.... Anyway you had had a Network problem and it is been solved...

I followed this method since I have the same problem when I shut down my XP PRO. When clicked "shut down computer" it would say"shut down window so you can safely turn off the power". The soft-off feature used to work for a short period of time with this xp, and worked great with win98. But I am running out of resource to fix this annoying power down procedure. there is no option to choose like what you mentioned at "VIEW" in device manager. Please help!! thankyou much in advance!

When Windows XP won’t powerdown automatically, the APM/NT Legacy Power Node may not be enabled. To enable this, right-click on the My Computer icon, click Properties | Hardware | Device Manager | View. Check the box labeled “Show Hidden Devices.” If it’s available on your computer, there will be a red X on the APM/NT Legacy Node. Try enabling it and see if this resolves the powerdown problem (Tip from Terri Stratton). Or, to check the other side of the APM/ACPI coin, open the Power Options applet in Control Panel. If there is an APM tab, make sure the “Enable Advanced Power Management Support” box is checked. (MSKB Q313290)

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!
