Windows won't turn off
Just formated and reinstalled xp pro. Been installing applicatioins. When I went to turn off the system it keeps restarting. The only way I can turn the computer off is with the power switch on the back of the computer case. Any clues? Thanks for your attention.

Those are the tricky problems; rule of thumb, start with the simple things first. I would do an XP repair, and then test.

Did you remember to reinstall all your hardware drivers before you started to add programs? Most shutdown/restart problems are hardware driver or software compatibilty issues. Uninstalling the programs one at a time may id which of them may be the cause also.
