I did a complete install of XP Pro on my Dell C600 running latest bios.
Start up/shutdown of laptop not connected to the port replicator works
perfectly. I installed all the latest security patches, updates, etc.
I then connected to the port replicator/docking station and allowed XP to
discover it and set it up.
I then tried to shutdown/power off. The O/S shuts down, and refuses to
power off the laptop/docking station.
Any idea what might be wrong and how to fix it? I need this baby to
shutdown correctly 'cuz I can't do the "restart" option for all those
wonderful "reboot required" situations...
