Powerdown after shutdown in Win2k Pro

This is a discussion about Powerdown after shutdown in Win2k Pro in the Windows Hardware category; Hi All, I am currently dual-booting Win98 SE with Win2k Pro and when I shutdown the PC in Win98, it powers off automatically, but not in Win2k. Does anyone know how I might be able to enable this feature in Win2k ? Thanks to all replies in advance.

Under your power management options, see if there is an APM tab - if so, select the checkbox under that tab.

Open regedit and navigate to the following key:
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
 
Set the value for PowerdownAfterShutdown to 1 and you should be set. This worked on my BF6 and BP6.

Hey thanks for the suggestions, but turning on APM gave me this Stop error on shutdown "unexpected_kernel_mode_trap" It then did a memory dump and rebooted. Also tried the registry edit and it made no difference at all.
Thanks
