My PC is ATX Compatible. Operating System Windows Nt 4.0 Workstation. I click Start Menu-> ShutDown button. PC isn't shut down. How can I shut down automatically?

Hi apo,

Windows NT usually won't shut down a computer automaticly. It will either tell you it is now safe to switch off the computer or in some cases the computer will crash or stop responding.

There are two things you can do about this:
1. Upgrade to the latest Windows NT Service Pack. You can get this from http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/default.asp The latest service pack is 6a.

2. If this dosn't help, the only thing you can do is switch off your PC. It is very unlikely this will damage your PC but it is required to do quite often in Windows. I even have to do this with my Windows XP computer as Microsoft havn't fixed the problem yet.

Hope this helps.

If you require any further assistance, please reply to this email. Please remember to include all previous messages so that we may more easily solve your problem.
