Clive;
Please keep in mind that if the machine is an older machine this is
perfectly normal behavior. In older AT class machines this is the norm. In
newer ATX class machines that have the proper power management features
supported in the BIOS the machine will turn itself off. If this machine is
an ATX class machine that supports APM make sure that it is enabled in the
BIOS.

| Hi Karl-Stephan
| When we click on the "Turn Off" icon the computer just keeps running, as
if
| we had not clicked on the Turn Off icon. As I said, the only way to
power
| down is with the ON/Off switch.
