I did a clean installation of Windows 2000 Pro on a desktop. &nbsp;Before I used to run Windows 98SE and my desktop will shutdown automatically, now that i have Windows 200 Pro when I select &quot;shut down&quot; the computer now says... is safe to turn off your computer, but in the past it will turn off by itself. &nbsp;Is there a fix for this issue?<br />

Please advice.<br />

Windows 2000 professional shut down

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
