power-down stuck in "re-boot"...

January 15, 2008

hello, trying to offer some long distance help to a friend who's running ME

on a P3-450.

He may have inadvertently caused this problem from a windows tweak, but his

computer now does not do an auto shut-down from the "start" menu, as it did

before, but simply re-boots.

Is there is a windows tweak that could affect this, or is it more likely a

BIOS problem?

thanks for any suggestions...

Re: power-down stuck in "re-boot"...

The first and simplest advice - especially as he thinks it has been caused

by a 'tweak' - is to run System Restore and select the last known time/date

BEFORE the problem started, i.e. before he applied the 'tweak'. That should

undo the 'tweak' and hopefully restore his auto shut-down.
