Power Down

jbrown456 · 07-15-2005, 12:56 AM

My friend is running windows xp home. When he shuts down, it shuts down and says "It Is Now Safe To Turn Off Your Computer". It never did this before. How can he disable this?

is he using a really old computer? my 1994 pc you have to manually turn off the computer with the button.

yep the system has to be old...well the PSU that is...that doesn't have an automatic way of shutting off

well then...i am lost....maybe its a setting that needs to be changed

it used to shut down by itself until he brought it to a computer repair shop. the only thing the guy did was remove spyware. by the way, like i said, it is 2 years old.
