I've had this problem for about a year, and despite several attempts to get it fixed, I've been unable to. It's a freakin mystery.

Anyways, I hope the experts here will be able to tell me what to do. Heres the problem, about a year ago, I can't remember what I was doing, but I shut down the pc as usual. XP shuts down, the screen goes blank, and then the power clicks on and off several times a second. The kb lights flash, and a clicking sound is in time with the flashing. It's really annoying in that I always have to wait for that, and then turn off the power bar under the desk.

I've narrowed the problem, to what I think has to do with the APM NT legacy interface node. It displays as disabled, yet when I try to enable it, I get a code 37 error (unable to initialize). I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Nothing works, I've heard that something needs to be disabled before I can enable it, but I've tried all kinds of stuff from the MS knowledge base.... nothing works.

Any ideas??? Thx!
