Hi,

I have just wiped my 2k pro machine and installed 2k server now it won't
auto shutdown, I find myself having to hold the power switch in to shut down
what I have noticed that there was no APM tab in the power options in
control panel yet this was present under 2k pro I have enabled ACPI and APM
in my Bios.

To enable acpi on the machine, you need to go to device manager and it will
probably say Standard PC do an update driver and choose Advanced
Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) PC (Uniprocessor Free) and that will
give you ACPI power management. Bear in mind all your device drivers will
be reinstalled.

Server does not support APM - i.e., a server cannot go into hibernate mode.

Will it boot into "safe mode" ( F8 during start up, then select safe mode )
From there you could use device manger to go back to standard PC.

You could also try an in-place install - if you have installed much SW
Boot from CD
choose install
When existing "damaged" install is found, choose Repair
You'll need to reapply any SPs, IE6, & updates - but SW & program =
registrations will still be there
