If the above doesn't work (it frequently does try it first)... there is a switch in the kernel called. Use Real Mode APM BIOS call to power off (under General last item or close to the last.) This is for really buggy BIOS's (and boy howdy some of them are buggy) and will enable them to power off correctly. MDK can't enable this by default because if the BIOS does this correctly then this switch will cause them to not be able to power off. I've an e-machines box I built up for a friend I had to do this on. James
