Re: Computer Issue
Ummm when ya turn yer computer on it should say something along the lines of FOR SETUP PRESS F1, or DEL to enter Setup, or F10 or something like that...
At that point whap whichever key it is and you will get a crusty old DOS lookin menu system, somewhere in there will be power management system settings etc.
And hopefully if you dig around you will find something appropriate to change to make it work differently, it can vary a bit from board to board so I dont wanna hazard too much of a guess sorry.

Re: Computer Issue
I know how to get into bios. But it's under power settings, huh? Word. I'll check on that.
Thanks!

You guys ever hear of a computer wanting to restart itself after you properly turn it off? I normally have to cut the power cord at the right second so it doesn't reboot.
Should I kick it harder?
Bunch of newbs,
Most Win XP shutdown problems reported thus far have been that it reboots when shutdown is attempted. This may be a global symptom emerging from several distinct causes, because, by default, XP executes an automatic restart in the event of a system failure. Therefore, more or less anything compromising the operating system during the shutdown process could force this reboot.
Disabling the “restart on system failure” feature may permit the exact cause to be isolated: Right-click on My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab. Under “Startup & Recovery,” click Settings. Under “System Failure,” uncheck the box in front of “Automatically restart."
And Xandros is the best linux you can get right now.
