In addition, if you want to actually power down, you have to use the EWX_POWEROFF flag, and the machine's BIOS has to have soft power support, and a soft switched power supply (most ATX form factor power supplies have this, but not older AT form factor supplies), and you have to install APM support under Win9x.
