Thanks.
I'll try to do this next. I didn't know that there was that kind
of button in win95. Now I've found it. Even after disabling that
auto-power-off the machine does auto-power-off while stopping win95!
The difference is that it does that auto-power-off even earlier now while
stopping win... But probably it made a change anyway. I'll try installing
slink again when I'll have time.
