I have about 30 terminals based on Epia ME6000 exhibiting this exact problem. I have yet to find any other solution to it than not shutting them down properly but instead just instructing users to hold the powerbutton until they shut off. That obviosly isn't a solution for you and a poor one for me, so if anybody has a real solution for this problem it would be great! -- Anders ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
