DESCRIPTION:  Installs an update that fixes the problem where the Presario
1200 Series models mentioned above do not power off at the Windows 98 
shutdown message, "It is now safe to turn off your computer."  The PC may 
eventually go into Sleep mode, and when the Sleep button is pushed, it 
redisplays the "It is safe..." message.  Or, if you press the Sleep button 
briefly, the PC will go into sleep.  After pressing it again to restart, 
the "It is safe..." message will still be displayed.  The only way to 
actually power off is to press the power button for more than 5 seconds.

After this SoftPaq is applied, the PC will shut down normally.
