9410 2001-03-01 18:36:00 I have tried all reccomendations but still I find I can not turn my comp. off.
I notice that when I select 'shut down' the select dot does not stay there. It moves itself to 'reboot'.
Nothing I do will make it stay put.
This is probably why I can't turn the machine off.
HELP. Jack

9411 2001-03-01 19:32:00 This might not resolve your problem but ....

I have a shortcut on my desktop that when double clicks bypasses the shutdown window and immediatly turns off the computer.

It's one of those hints where you make a new shortcut and type in a long number to set it up.

The target on the shortcut is:

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE shell32,SHExitWindowsEx 1

If you make a new shortcut and copy and paste that in it MIGHT work. Otherwise maybe someone can remember the hint that creates the shortcut.

Good Luck

9414 2001-03-04 10:11:00 I have a small sugestion.
Try going into msconfig,click on the advanced button and tick or untick the box where it says enable fast shut down,maybe that will help.
