>>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.
