shutdown/restart problem

[Jonathan]

Try this, got to start, run, type cmd in the run box, to
shutdown the computer type "shutdown -s". To restart your
computer type "shutdown -r". To logoff type "shutdown -
l".

If any of these work you can make a new text file, name it
shutdown.bat, and paste the text that you want in it and
doubleclicking on it will performe the requested action.

If this doesn't work please let us know.
