Shutting down the computer

[Guest_imported]

Does anyone have some code in assembly that will shut down a computer? Im making my computer have a duel boot with dos 6.0 and windows xp. I have all the code done in QBASIC, except for the shutting down the comuter part. I also want it to restart the computer.

thanks.

Reboot in DOS is:

int 019h ;no parameters

AmkG will probably know win32 calls.

Well for win32... you need to call a particular API in a particular DLL, whose name I forgot. You might be able to do a search on win32asmboard.cjb.net (ask only if you can't find it via search...).

There was also a Windows utility on c|net which gave you several options on how to restart your computer... you could download a free version (all 9 megabytes of it) and pay $25 for the full version. 'Course you could always select Start|Shutdown but hey you had 8 shutdown options... come on pay $25 dollars to get more shutdown options... bleah....

As for Int19h... that's incomplete... there are other things that need to be done but unfortunately for me I don't remember them... I once had an example proggy with all possible DOS reboot flavors BUT the HDD it was on got trashed after 15-odd years of abuse.
