    Question problem shutting down windows 2k

    Last night, after installing several software applications on my pc, I ran into a problem shutting down windows 2000. When I go to shut down, the computer runs through it's normal routine, saving files, backing up, etc., and then proceeds to restart instead of shutting off. Before last night, when I went to shut down, the computer would completely power off. Now, it just stalls for a second and restarts. Anybody have any ideas?

    Try changing your "Power Settings" in BIOS to "User Define"

    Thanks Matt, I checked and it's set to 'Use Define' I loaded setup defaults after the BIOS flash.

    Are any of you running ZoneAlarm? If so update to the new version 2.6.88. See if that solves the problem.
