Hi Sandrob,

I feel really sorry for you, with all the problems you encounter lately. I wish they'd be over quick. But there's little I can do really about it, as you know probably as much as I do.

The link above says how to turn off your non-ACPI pc automatically, without that "You may now turn off..." message. ACPI is one thing that can auto-shutdown your pc fully, but people who disabled ACPI can still do it by installing the APM driver. It does the same for non-ACPI pc's.

If you're on an ACPI pc, it should shutdown automatically and you won't need the link.

at0mic.

There was a post explaining how to fix this some weeks ago (Subhuman of course). I don't find the messages now and I don't have winxp computer in front of me but it goes like this ... go to control panel - system - hardware - device manager - unfold the system devices - (and now comes the hard part I hope I remember this right) select ACPI fixed feature button (it should be disabled) and enable it. This should allow the OS to shut down normally...... Still it would be better to find the original post cause I'm not 100% if I'm remembering it right....!

I posted the link above, I think that's about the best you'll get here for non-ACPI pc's. The topic's by remixme, not Subhuman.

But hey, you yourself did a great job on explaining it for ACPI users. Thanks

Standard, the device should be Enabled. It doens't show normally, you'd have to select View->Show Hidden Devices in Computer Managment. It's under System Devices.

Are you running ACPI or Standard PC mode?

Posted: **Mon Mar 18, 2002 2:31 am**

standard PC

Posted: **Mon Mar 18, 2002 2:47 am**

I'm on ACPI, but can any 'Standard PC' user on XP confirm this one?

-> Control Panel
-> Add New Hardware
-> 'Yes, already connected'
-> 'Add new hardware device'
-> 'Manually select from List'
-> 'NT Apm/Legacy Support'
-> 'NT Apm/Legacy Interface Node'

Posted: **Mon Mar 18, 2002 3:12 am**

i do instal of 'NT Apm/Legacy Support'

i can't find 'NT Apm/Legacy Interface Node' on list

so, i enabled 'NT Apm/Legacy Support', but when i do click on it, i have 'NT Apm/Legacy Interface Node' but with yellow ! on it. i try to update driver from list but won't!

Sorry. I've run out of idea's. But don't worry, sun's rising on the American East Coast, I hope these guys will take over

An easier way to add APM back into a 'Standard PC' install: Device Manager, View, Show Hidden Devices.
Now, you should see NT Apm/Legacy Support as an item in your list, probably with a red x mark through it. Right click, and select Enable. That should be it, your computer can now shutdown properly.

i try this but i didn't see nt apm/legacy support on devices list (with show hiden devices). then i download and instal apm driver. after "adding new hardware" i have but don't work properly

have yellow ! on NT Apm/Legacy Interface Node and can't work properly!

btw: i think that's last thing what i must set in xp system. they allready working great

, but this message bother!!

So the clicks and stuff are gone? If this is the last problem you have... It's like our pilots: when they come in with an aircraft, and say there's something wrong w the coffee machine, then we know they've got a good aircraft

Enjoy your Pulsar. Hope you can get the job(s) done!
