[L0ko]

Heisann!

 

En kompis har kjøpt ny hd og installert norsk winXP og når han prøver å skru av pcn på normal måte, så restarter den.

 

Ka kan problemet være?

Sikker på at han valgte, Slå av maskinen? Og ikke slå av maskinen på menyen?

[L0ko]

ja han valgte slå av, ikkje start på nytt

Windows XP Tips:

There are a number of users who are noticing that their PC will no longer automatically power down/shut off without pressing the power off button on the computers unlike in Windows Me/95/2000. There could be a number of reasons for this - but the main one seems to be that ACPI is not enabled on the computer or in Windows XP. Here is how to try that out:

 

1: Click - Start - Control Panel - Performance and Maintenance - Power Options

Tab

 

2: Then click APM - Enable Advanced Power Management Support

 

When you shut down Windows XP, the OS tries its best to make sure that all services (they help run things like graphics, printers etc) are shut down. But there are times when they don't close, thus Windows XP tries to give it the chance to shut down itself. This amount of time that windows waits for the service to close is stored in the system registry. If you modify this setting, then windows will shut down the service earlier. To modify the setting, follow the directions below:

 

Start Regedit.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control.

Click on the "Control" Folder.

Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout"

Right click on it and select Modify.

Set it to a value lower than 2000, say 1000 as a test.

Har han nvidia-brikkesett og pci-grafikkort? Det hadde nemlig jeg, og da måtte jeg installere en annen driver til en eller annen buss...
