Shut Down not working correctly
I am using a dual boot system. Win98SE on C drive and WinXP Pro on a second
hard drive "D". I also use a APC Back-UPS The normal procedure when turning on the UPS to power the PC is a battery check on the UPS is performed and then I press the start button on the PC to have the PC boot. When I shut down when using Win98SE and then go thru the start up procedure the next time I want to use the PC all starts well. However when I shutdown when using WInXP Pro and go to start up the next time, the PC automatically starts when I turn on the UPS by passing the UPS battery check and my need to press thr start button on the PC. Observation is that Win XP Pro is not truly shutting down the PC. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance |

PCR..For what it's worth the issue was resolved. It was a registry
entry..seee below my response to the XP group: Issue resolved. I found the answer he http://www.theeldergeek.com/shutdown_issues_in_xp.htm Start Regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Set the value of PowerDownAfterShutdown to 1. If the value isn't present, add it by creating the string value PowerDownAfterShutdown and setting the value to 1. "PCR" wrote in message ...

OK. Thanks for the feedback. Still seems a tad mysterious, but I DON'T want to get involved with understanding XP!

Leave the UPS on at all times, DO NOT shut it off.

Why leave it on when the PC is not on, other than to keep the battery
charged ? "Brian A." gonefish'n@afarawaylake wrote in message ... Leave the UPS on at all times, DO NOT shut it off. -- Brian A.
