Shutdown but not OFF! Help

Feb 15, 2004 10:04PM PST

When I do shutdown, the computer shutsdown but doesn't give me the prompt "safe to turn monitor off". When I looked at computer, it shutsdown but doesn't shut off. I have used the recovery disks, but that doesn't help. Its like it is in standby or hibernate mode all the time. I updated drivers from MS, it worked for awhile, then it stopped again. Thus, I have to manually shut the computer off every time that I am using it. Please, somebody help me!!!

I have a similar problem, I have Norton anti virus running on my computer which is conflicting resulting with the same trouble,
I have to manually enable the anti virus when I go on and when I finish manually disable it, this has stopped the problem.
I`m going to change the anti virus for some thing else.
