Problem with computer shutting down.

[Todd4a]

My computer does not shut down properly. When I click log off it says logging off windows, windows is shutting down. But it doesn't turn my computer off. any ideas why this is happening? does it happen to anyone else? thanks in advance for your replies.

click 'Turn off' it might help!

Sorry, i guess i didn't explain it right. i do hit "turn off computer" and it logs off windows, but never shuts down.

Does the screen get stuck in that "windows is shutting down" screen forever? And also, what OS are you on?

 

[Todd4a]

yes, and xp media edition

Hallo!
So, try to do in this way:
1) control panel->administration tool->Event Viewer and look at the errors if there are errors connected with shouting down
2) start->run->msconfig and startup. Remove items. Maybe any application block shouting down
3) start->run->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
DWORD "PowerdownAfterShutdown" = 1
4) turn on advanced power management

Good luck!
