Hello,
 
I've just installed windows XP. When I want to turn off my computer, Windows displays a message indicating that i can turn off my computer.
The PC is not switched off automatically. It works with Windows Me.
My PC is ATX compliant. The Motherboard is an ABIT BE6.
 
Anyone can help me ?

If your system isn't detected as ACPI complient, you will have to go into power control panel and enable APM power management.
 
Had to do this for a friends computer to enable auto turn off.

is there an APM tab in the power control panel. Also check if you are even using APM power management.
