Hi Mike, nice to see you up on this fine Sunday (27C here during the day, but cooled down to a pleasant autumn evening). Gotta be my setup. I have checjked the bios on all machines I have a problem with and they have s1&s3 set and I have apm in the build. All of them work if I comment out the logout and fail (from the menu only) when I leave it in.....
