I know what you mean bud.The APM tab is gone on my system since the fix.I gave you a site with alternative steps/fixes.Also check on the advanced tab,make sure shutdown is showing in the window.Your motherboard might not support APM(not sure on that).

did u install the CD CREATOR 5? if u did, then uninstall it. i got the problem be4 as well . when i click shutdown, it goes restart the computer.
If u still get the same **** happen. i reckon u do the restore. or reinstall the XP again.
