Some do, I'll have a dig around for some details. The dual-proc machine I'm using now doesn't but the Dell 610 I've got at work does. I'll find out if it's registry related or if there's anything more specific required.

I bought ME and found it to be the biggest pile of sh*t that I ever ran as an OS - I even preferred 95! Most of my apps that I use all the time wouldn't recognise the OS to be able to install the correct version and the drivers for my 35mm film scanner ran at about 5% of the speed that they did on the same machine when it had NT installed on it. That is - of course - until after about an hour of scanning when suddenly they would start reporting back spurious error messages before finally deciding that the CCD array in the film scanner had died and that was that. (A very scary moment I can tell you until I moved the film scanner over onto another machine and it worked perfectly!)
 
None of the flavours of Win2k that I've tried will turn off the PC when doing a shutdown ... I too have several ATX and T based machines and *NONE* of the ATX machines will power off with Win2k - I always assumed it was down to Win2k's NT heritage!

Installed Win2K Pro on one of my machines yesterday (finally got fed-up of Win ME).
 
Everything's fine except when I shut down the PC just sits there with the message that it's safe to turn off.  It doesn't actually turn itself off like ATX machines do (and this one did with ME on it).
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks
