On windows XP sp1. When I'm turning off, the operating system shuts down but the PC continues working until :confused I press down the turn off button. Anybody can help about this?

Hi,
Have you tried this?

Go to Start / Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / Power Options Tab.
Then, click on APM; Enable Advanced Power Management Support.
Click on Apply, and OK.
This might solve the problem. Best of luck.

Thanks, but I already did this. Any other idea? Is there a possibility to update to sp2 and solve the problem?

It works most of the times.

It's worth I try? Whenever I get a problem I try everything I can think of - one out of the number of things I try usually rectify the problem. If not I have lots of friends who are PROs when it comes to computers. Will be happy to ask them on your behalf if you wish me to??
