Hi
I have a Dell Optiplex GX110 running win ME,
the problem i`m having is, that when i shut it down, it won`t auto shut off, it goes right thru the process, of closing down,but leaves me with a blank screen, but no "it safe to turn off your pc" sceen, normally it turns itself right off, now i have to press the restart button, causing the PC to run thru scandisk on reboot.....
please help cause its driving me barmy!!!!!!!

ok, contorl panel, power management, and turn on advanced power management.. there u go sorted, about 30 seconds after u posted it wonky
thanx for the quick advice but i dont have advanced power management, only power options, but that does not give you the choice of switching anything on!!

hmm i say its a corrupt windows file that aint sending the signal to the motherboard then to power off.. i always had it on windows me, but on 2k its perfect
Have you checked the APM settings in the BIOS?
I had win me sometime ago and experienced lot of problem with it, however if I am not mistaken you can restore your previous settings (I can't remember how - I am sure someone can shed light on this) and therefore set it to when it was ok.

i ran a quick dianostic and it came back with a corrupt system file...maybe this is it?
