Shutdown & ACPI

[LoRdSpawn 0]

hello..

 

when I try to shutdown win2k, my PC alwaysrestarts

I saw i didn't have the choice to hibernate the PC is there a link between these 2 things? ...in win98 my system can hibernate & shutdown..

i have a ACPI bios and ACPI is enabled in win2k (as well as in win98 i guess).

i would be glad if one o' you guys would gimme a solution.

 

thankx.

AT motherboard support ACPI?

I haven't known that actually, but as far as I know AT motherboard can't switch off itself because of its power supply.

that true my computer cannot switch off automatically but ACPI really is supported,

so my computer can hibernate.

In win9x, i could shutdown my computer so i got the message: it's no safe to turn of your computer. In win2k that's impossible.
