Guest hemlockgrove Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Running Windows 2000 Pro SP4 on Pentium II 233Mhz. All storage peripherals are SCSII. After installing older version of Backup Exec (V4.0 (OEM)) that came with Seagate tape drive, whenever I try to shutdown, it goes thru normal shutdown process and then reboots rather than powering down the computer. If I go to Control Panel | Power Options | APM tab, Enable Advanced Power management checkbox is checked. Unchecking that does not show "it's now safe to shut down computer", but still reboots. I know that I had this same version of Windows 2k pro install with same Backup Exec running & it shut down & powered off properly, although the sequence of installation of Backup Exec, SP4, various other programs & hotfixes probably was different. This current version of Win2k is installed on drive F:, the other was installed on drive C: I updated to the latest version of the ASPI layer, but have not updated to latest Ultra 160 driver (which the F: drive is connected to). Any suggestions, advice, etc would be most appreciated.

I'd like to know the answer too. Your problem sounds exactly like mine: same hardware & software shutdown and standby worked fine before, now after a new install , shutdown reboots & standby locks up. I've been posting for a couple of months, no answer yet: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win2000.general/browse_thread/thread/5e9a49c63c93f12b/a4c8d55c363dd28b?lnk=gst&q=zeke7#a4c8d55c363dd28b
