    More computer woes

    My computer (pc) will not shut down. It says on the screen that it is but it keeps running. Running XP. Jim

    Been known to happen time to time.

    Hold the power button in to turn it off. Monitor it next time you use it and turn it off.
    Cheers, Dale

    Thanks Dale. That is what I have been doing, but how do you fix it?

    I could be one of a dozen diferent issues.

    Click on control panel, erformance information and tools, advanced tools.

    See what is listed under performance issues. This will give us a starting point.

    When it is starting up press F8 and start it in Safe Mode. Once it is fully started then shut down and restart normally.

    Hopefully it will shut down properly after that.

    Create a batch file with the command "shutdown /h /f"
    It will force the shutdown and bypass this issue.
    Was very common with xp.

    (run the file to shutdown instead of using start--shutdown)
