XP Shutdown 1

[dgerrish]

Hi Guys,

My PC keeps hanging on the "it is now safe to turn off your computer screen".

All advice seems to point to enabling NT APM/Legacy support in device manager.

This was already enabled on my PC BUT it has a problem (the little yellow warning triangle). Any ideas on getting the driver for it fixed?

Likely it is not an APM driver issue. You will have to play detective:

Is there an updated Bios version for this machine?
