Description
As discussed in http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=110241&st=0&gopid=776335&#entry776335
Different models of Windows 2000 workstations do not power down when using the option in Autoit - instead they get the "it's now safe to turn off your computer".
Shutdown(1+8) (Shutdown + Powerdown)
Shutdown(4+8) (Force Powerdown)
Shutdown(4+8+1) (Force Powerdown + Shutdown)
Compiled under version 3.2.2.0, they all work perfectly.
Compiled under version 3.3.1.5, they all just do a shutdown - no power down.
Likewise, I've tried the same under the shiny new 3.3.4.0 - same as 3.3.1.5 (no power down).
XP SP3 works fine. 2K SP4 doesn't.

AFAIK If you ever see that message it's due to bad drivers/BIOS on that machine. At the API level we've done everything to make the poweroff happen.
