I'm on XP OS and go Start-Turn Off.
It will log me out, but freezes up after it gets me out. It also does that when I restart. When I try to hibernate or stand by, it will freeze on a black screen. Computer still runs. I have to manually turn it off after that. It's really bugging me. Can you help fix the problem??

Ok. I'm not an idiot. I manually press and hold the button every time to turn it off. I've been doing that for the past 4 months. It's not cookies.... Maybe a virus? But I already knew that. So anybody with a real answer want to say anything??

Would restoring it to an earlier date get rid of my files?? I have a lot that I'm not willing to lose. Thats why I haven't used the system restore CD's yet.

there is a program that is not completely shutting down, it is keeping windows from shutting down. It is either a virus or spyware more than likely, and has made a network connection tha tisn't breaking free. Try cleaning it up

Run your antivirus programs.. and, in addition to the unplugging thing, while your system is unplugged, from the back of the puter, not necessarily the wall, press and hold your power button for 60 seconds.. then, plug it back in and power up.. should make a difference..

Restore your computer to a date prior to when you started having the problem.
Click on 'Start' and select 'Help and Support'.
Type 'System Restore' in the Search Box (top right hand corner).
This will hopefully fix the problem for you!!!
