Windows 2000 Pro reboots after shutdown

[Guest hemlockgrove]

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:
