Subject: Re: Computer not shutting down completely


Hi There,
Boy I would also like to know the solution for that problem!
I operate on X P, and 4 weeks ago the same thing started to happen to me.
So I have to wait for about 30 seconds after the sign off, and power down
manually.
Outside of that snag the computer is quite stable!
So...are there any thoughts out there in cyber world on this oddity?
Interestingly I ran a bios scan and all seemed to be in working order. What
to do, what to do?
Rick
PS. As a side note: this mailing is my very first communication to this
very cool and interesting group of people!
I have been enjoying the mailings for about 3 weeks now.
Thank You all!!
