[Coco] OT -- PC needs TWO Shut Downs

[Robert Gault]

Supply a few more details! What EXACTLY happens during the first shutdown? 
Does the system hang during shutdown requiring the reset button? Does it 
completely shutdown and then restart on its own? Does this behavior always 
happen or only after running certain programs? What motherboard, memory, 
video card, audio card, etc. are you using? If this is recent behavior, did 
you recently install a new program? Any recent system updates? Have you 
checked BIOS settings or looked at Device Manager for any problems? Whens 
the last time you checked for a virus or spyware infestation? I've not 
exhausted the list of things to check but at least answer the above questions.
