Problem with Abit BX6 and auto shut down in XP

[Dogcatcher]

I installed XP on a Abit BX6 R2 board with a P3 1000. At some point in setting up the machine I stopped getting the auto shutdown feature. It just gives my the old "system is safe to shut down now" screen. It doesn't effect the main operation of the system but it is annoying. Any ideas?

Two things to check. One is in your BIOS under Power or Shutdown you will find something about the "soft off". You need to enable it. The second is in XP under Control Panel>Performance and Maintanance>Power Options>Advanced. There you need to go to the Power Button options and select "shutdown". Try those first. Hope this helps.
