W2k shutdown doesn't power down
This is a discussion about W2k shutdown doesn't power down in the Windows Hardware category; I have an ATX motherboard and case. Under Win 98 and NT4 the machine would shutdown correctly - Win98 would power down and NT4 would allow the front panel power switch to power off. Win2000 leaves a message that you may turn off your computer but the front panel switch is disabled.

I have to haul the machine out from under the desk and hit the power switch on the rear of the machine.
Anyone have a fix? I have a Legend QDI motherboard with an Award BIOS.
Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I uninstalled the MS Hot-Fix for 2K and now Soft-off works fine. Don't see how it would have affected APM but something sure did. Anyone got ideas?

Yes, this IRQ9 only problem sounds like a Mobo Bios problem. I have ACPI enabled on my SuperMicro p6dbs and W2k has assigned IRQs as high as 20. Some are shared, most are not.
Regardless, the SBLive! drivers suck...
