| 496043 | 2006-11-02 10:59:00 | My computer cannot switch off. When I turn off, it writes LOGGING OFF for a vary long time until I just switch it off from the power plug. Please help. fkapepa |

| 496044 | 2006-11-02 11:19:00 | What operating system is it? ie Win98, Win2k or WinXP. If you have a whole lot of programs running in your Task Bar turn them off manually and see if this helps, if it does, by a process of elimination figure out which program is causing it to hang. Do you have a number of user profiles on your computer? |

| 496046 | 2006-11-02 18:39:00 | Try running a command shutdown. Start, Run, type "cmd" and when the command consol comes up type "shutdown -s -f" this will display a box giving you 30 seconds to save all your work before it will force all programs to shutdown |

| 496049 | 2006-11-02 23:08:00 | Download "Superfast" shutdown. I use it from time to time. Very small program also has "Superfast" reboot, Definitely more kind than ripping the power out or holding the button in for 10 secs. www.topshareware.com |

| 496050 | 2006-11-02 23:16:00 | Also if you pull the power (or hold the power button) you risk data corruption if the disk cache hasn't yet been written. Remember that Windows does not have a journalling filesystem either. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 496051 | 2006-11-03 01:44:00 | Its because Windows is trying to close some running process - and can't.. I'd be doing a spyware check. |
