power-down stuck in "re-boot"...

[Paul]

hello, trying to offer some long distance help to a friend who's running ME
on a P3-450.

He may have inadvertently caused this problem from a windows tweak, but his
computer now does not do an auto shut-down from the "start" menu, as it did
before, but simply re-boots.

Is there is a windows tweak that could affect this, or is it more likely a
BIOS problem?

thanks for any suggestions...

Paul

The first and simplest advice - especially as he thinks it has been caused
by a 'tweak' - is to run System Restore and select the last known time/date
BEFORE the problem started, i.e. before he applied the 'tweak'. That should
undo the 'tweak' and hopefully restore his auto shut-down.
