Hi Pete,
Is that eShutdown or eStyler shutdown?
... eShutdown.
If eShutdown then check that ACPI is selected as the shutdown method - Desktop Properties -> eShutdown - that has been the cause of that problem here.
Yep, ACPI is selected as the shutdown method. Interestingly, the APM is greyed out (disabled) and not even selectable... although APM drivers are present in config.sys... hmm... I remember some side-notes on WSE2008 about "APM being disabled in RC6 - but back in RC6a". Hm.
When asking for advice about what switches to use on the PSD=ACPI.PSD line it is advisable to specify the chipset involved - helps to avoid trying tips that work great on totally different chipsets :-)
I know, was just too lazy yesterday evening.

Also I dropped an email at ecosoft asking them what debug/log files I need to send them in order to enable them to further investigate on that issue. We'll see.
In the meantime, I'll sneak around Mensys' Mantis and the usual newsgroups... I'm sure I'm not the only one having the problem (although I bet I'm the only one still using rc6 instead of rc6a...

)
Thanks, regards,
Thomas
