Precision 390 How to Shut Off Windows with Power Button?
What driver(s) do you need to install under Windows XP to have the power
button on the Dell Precision 390 Workstation shut down Windows? I have one computer where this is working and one computer where it is not, so presumably this is a configuration or driver issue. -- W |

Are you pushing in the power button for a minimum of 6 seconds? Should not require any drivers at all... Ben Myers |

You SHOULD be able to set this by Right Click on Desktop, Select Properties Click Display Properties, Screen Saver, Power, Advanced, Power Button .... Set to whatever your pleasure is. No drivers necessary AFAIK. |
