Hello everybody,I installed Windows 7 on a system where there had been already a dual-boot configuration with Windows2000 and Windows XP. I noticed that the boot manager now displays "Windows 7" and "Previous system". Booting Windows 7 works. On selecting "Previous system" I get the previous boot manager; I may boot into both Windows2000 and Windows XP successfully. While shutdown from Windows XP works, I always get a restart instead of a shutdown when invoked from Windows 2000. Before installing Windows 7 shutdown from Windows 2000 was normal.Can anybody give me an explanation or a workaround?Thank you in advanceAndre Lehmann

Have you tried the shutdown command from a command prompt to see if that works?I don't have an installation of Win2K to look at, so I can't provide you with the syntax.Type "shutdown /?" at the command prompt to see what the options are to force a shutdown.- John

Workaround.Open command prompt and type shutdown -t 0 -r (for reboot); shutdown -t 0 -s (for shutdown).You can make a simple batch file for double-click access.
