>>i can't use the normal power off button in the motherboard.

If you hold the power off button down on the motherboard, the PC will not power 
off??

I haven't seen any issues with that on the PCs I have loaded with EMC2.   The 
power button on the PCs I think is a function of the PC bios - hold it down for 
x seconds and it will kill the PC regardless of any software running on it.

If I shutdown EMC2, the PC still stays powered up and I have to turn the PC 
off.  Would it make sense to shutdown EMC2 with the mouse and then kill the PC 
via a power disconnect via the machine controls?   That is what I am planning 
on doing.

It sounds like you are doing a lot of work trying to get this resolved.

Or perhaps I don't understand the problem still.
