Windows XP shutdown

I have a duel boot system with WinXP and Win98se. When I shut down with Win98se the computer powers down. When I shut down from WinXP I get the "It is now safe to turn off the computer..." screen. Is this normal? How can I get the computer power down by itself? I upgraded the machine from Win98se. I first only had WinXP on it and the same thing happened. I have used both FAT32 and NTFS file system with no luck. It is really annoying.

 

This quite often hqs something to do with the Advanced power management system on your computer. Browse this article and try the fix:

Thanks. I was able to figure it out from the link you gave me. Leave it to MS to change it so that you have to have the settings a certain way to shut down the system when an earlier OS did it without a problem.

 

Go to CONTROL panel left click POWER OPTIONS left click APM tab at top right V mark the ENABLE ADVANCED POWER SUPPLY left click OK and restart!
Now everything will be in proper order.
