ATX p/s doesn't automatically shut off anymore.

ASUS P3B-f MOB
when I shut off WIN98 it used power down automatically after saying "it is now safe to shut off your computer".  Now I have to manually push power switch.

Edited text of question.
Have you made any changes before finding the shutdown problem?  pslh

Well, I'm a tech's worst nightmare: I'm a tech also so yes, but who knows what?  I do play around with a lot of stuff. i.e. tweak ui & other reg editing utilities.

My system is @ home & i'm @ work. I will try & let you know Thursday.
If that doesn't work, try this

1)  Right click on My Computer and select properties
2)  Click on device manager
3)  Click the + next to system devices
4)  Highlight Advanced Power Management and click remove it
5)  Reboot the system and enter setup ( you wil see an instruction like press F2 to enter setup during boot )
6)  Disable Advanced Power Management
7)  Save changes and exit
8)  Verify that at windows, no new hardware is detected
8)  Once again, restart and enter setup
9)  Now, enable APM and make sure that all subcomponents disabled.
10)  Save changes and exit
11)  Windows should now detect and install software for APM
12)  Test by shutting down
****What happened?

OK, I tried disabling fast shut off in WIN98 but now I get funny stuff.  it says searching for PCI resources for my SB live card...
That's normal. Boot the system into safemode and then go into device manager and open each area and look for duplicate entries. If you find any, remove ALL of them, and then reinstall that device. Let us know!
