power options

[zmerlinz]

recently after installing Linux SuSE as a dual boot with 2K on my laptop i am having a few problems with the power options that i never had before
BTW these only occur when i am in 2K

1) when i select shutdown it closes all of the connections and such and then when that box dissapears the system just sits there and doesn't turn the power off

2) when i select reboot it does exactly the same

3) when i had hibernate on and i selected this, it hard rebooted my computer instantly

does anyone have any idea what is causing this and how i can fix it without re-installing 2K or removing Linux ??


Cheers

try getting service pack 2 if you don't already have it

I don't see why installing linux would do that

have you looked all over the power control panel and clicked a few things to try different settings?

yeah i can't see why that would do that either, but that is when all of the problems started

and yes i have checked all of the power settings and changed things but nothing seems to work, i am doing a windows update as we speak so i will see if that works in a little while

well i put all of the latest updates on my computer and all i managed to achieve was to kill my tv card ( Doh!! ) but the power still doesn't work properly

any more ideas anyone ??
