Computer not shuting down

I know that some computers don't shutdown by themselves when you go to 'shutdown' on some older computers. That's why it says 'It is now safe to turn off your computer.'. Why does it do this? And, is there a way to change it so it shuts off automatically?

Thanks

Check into the windows power management settings and probably in your BIOS there are also power management settings that probably need set to for the PC to do as you wish.. You will most likely see one pertaining to the power switch in the BIOS and you want to be sure that is set for 'power off'
