Why "it Is Now Safe To Turn Off Your Computer" ?


Recommended Posts


I had the same problem. Tried everything I could find online to fix the problem and nothing worked.

Reinstalled with a XP SP2 Gold cd and everything worked fine.

The problem is your computer has been recognized as Standard PC somewhere during the install process but it should be recognized as ACPI Uniprocessor PC. If it wasn't, you won't find any of the tabs or settings that people are pointing you to.

The only possible fix I saw here that I couldn't find before was the registry entry. Did that have any affect?

Did you try the switch from device manager? If you are on xp you can try the xp cd repair process and when the system tells you to hit f5 you can hit that or f6 I forget which one and select acpi. What are your specs?
