Windows XP Restarts instead of shutting down

    I am experiencing a similar problem to the other threads discussing this, but I have already disabled the automatic restart in the system failure box. The only burning program is Nero, and that was installed years ago. No new programs have been installed recently.

    Potential solutions such as M916719 no longer seem to exist - the hits from Google are from forums (including this one) discussing them at least two years ago.

    Ideas/advice please?

    Good Luck!

    Link above looks favorable. Sometimes disabling the "last access time stamp" thingy causes rebooting, if a program depends on it. FYI
