OK all you XP Gurus, let's see what we can do here.
My problem is that my system will not shut down...period.
When I tell the system to shut down, it goes through it's little process and then hangs on the screen that says that it is now safe to turn of your computer. Though it's a pain, I would have been willing to go ahead and manually shut down from there, but the Power button does nothing. I can't turn it off. I end up having to hit the reset button, and then turn off the power once it makes it to the memory test spot on the reboot.
What gives? I like the new OS so far, but this is a royal pain!
BTW... I tried to use the registry hacks listed in the sticky of this forum, but I was unable to find the keys listed in the spots that they were supposed to be in the advice.
