Normal, without ACPI, autoshutdown won't work.

Yes you can have autoshutdown without ACPI (Standard PC mode) - I do!

There is something in power management settings (in BIOS or in the control panel) - but (sorry) I can't remember exactly what it is.

I didn't do anything -special- though.

Please can u see what u changed in your bios or control panel ?

WinKey+Pause, Device Manager, in a menu at the top select "Show Hidden Devices" then <b>enable APM</b>. Should shut down now; and nothing to do with Creamware.
