Hi, no, that's actually default xp behaviour, because the shutdown dialog
has three buttons, restart, shutdown, and standby. These buttons are
accessed by one key commands, u for shutdown, s for standby and r for
restart. You can either switch to classic, or if you enable user switching
or such it goes to the old list view type where you have to do a press of
enter. This is nothing wrong with drivers or such, it's how xp actually
works out of the box!
But installing or using 64 bit drivers on xp is definitely asking for
trouble, the 2 platforms are different! It might be that you got a
all-in-one package, where both 32 and 64bit drivers are included for various
operating systems. If not, don't use them! Here's what you should do, since
you have a sound card working for now, if you have network access, go online
and run windows update, it'll find hardware drivers for you system if there
are any. You'll have to look in the hardware tab.
HTH, D!J!X!

Besides the generic RealTech drivers from the RealTech website, which I'm
waiting to install in case I can get the correct drivers, last night I
plugged in the $10 USB sound card, that looks like a thumb drive with 3.5mm
jacks for headphones and mic.
It provided the ta ta and shutdown fanfare, so I know it will work for
speech temporarily.
Today I could install a screenreader, but I can already tell that mistakenly
installing the Win7 64 drivers on Win XP 32 did some damage to XP.
I normally shut down XP with Alt+F4, then the letter U, then enter, but this
installation begins the shut down as soon as I press the U without waiting
for enter, so something's wrong with it.
Extracting wrong drivers can be about as difficult, I've heard, as
extracting teeth, better to reinstall XP, and not need to worry about those
64 bit drivers in there.
