Shutdown/Restart

[SGP]

When trying to shutdown or restart my computer (windows
XP), nothing happens. Can only shut down by pushing
external power button on tower... this makes it
impossible to update or install anti-virus patches since
they require restart after installation.

Please help ? ? ?

Hi

For shutdown/restart problems, have a look at MVP Jim Eshelman's web =
