I have windows 2000 Prof with the SP3 and when i want to shutdown the computer he don't shutdown... appears a screen with this: "shutting down windows..." And stay like that! I think to solve the problem it's on the BIOS section... But i really don't know what to do... For me don't cause any problem it's just for make it really 100% working...

(I'm sorry if my english is very bad but i don't practice for a couple of years! )

Don't worry about the English...You're doing fine. Has it ever shutdown correctly?

It's called ACPI (if I remember correctly). I've never had any issues with it before, but have a look in your ACPI section in the BIOS for anything unusual, and have a look in the Power Options via Control Panel in Windows as well.

rik: yes... But i really don't remmeber very well! The Power Options are with the default options, i only change to "always on" and "never" in the two sections!

I've seen USB devices cause that...do you have any connected?

a printer... But i don't think it's because of that! Well... I hope not!

Control Panel -->Power Options--> APM. Check box: "Enable Advanced Power Management support"

just try unplugging it and restarting to see...
