Problem Shutting Down with Windows 2000

[Ambassador]

Here is the problem: on Windows 98 SE on the same computer, when I shut down properly, the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" message doesn't show up; it automatically shuts down on it's own. Yet with Windows 2000 on the same computer, the computer doesn't automatically shut down, and instead the message appears. How can I fix this?

Maybe it's an old computer supporting APM? In that case you can try this fix.

But Windows 98 has no trouble shutting off by itself!

Windows 98 detects APM while installing. Windows 2000 just assumes the BIOS does ACPI. In case of an APM machine you have to install it yourself.

oh sorry, I see now
