Win 2000 Shutdown

This is a discussion about Win 2000 Shutdown in the Windows Hardware category; When I shut down Win 2000 RC2 I get the message it is now safe to turn off your computer But my case (Aopen HX-08) has an electric switch, not a mechanical switch, so it has no effect. I need to hit the reset button and reboot to the bootmenu screen.

When I shut down Win 2000 RC2 I get the message "it is now safe to turn off your computer" But my case (Aopen HX-08) has an electric switch, not a mechanical switch, so it has no effect. I need to hit the reset button and reboot to the bootmenu screen. Then the switch works. Win 98 and RC1 automatically shut down the computer. Is there some way I can reenable this with RC2? My MB is an ABIT BX-6 Rev. 2.
Thanks,
Brian

Try holding down the power button for 5 seconds. If not, I belive there's an option in the bios for "instant" off on your motherboard.
