computers have a mind of theor own

Answer 2

It's just a glitch in windows. It happens sometimes.

When it's necessary to turn off your computer without doing a proper shut down, hold in the power button until it shuts off. This allows your computer to turn off without damaging your hard drive.

Sounds like Microsoft as usual. If you have WinXP it is notorious for this. Also, it's not a good idea to "hibernate" WinXP either. You might want to check at kellys-korner.com to see if you can debug the problem. Good Luck.

The problem is your operating system. Make sure it has it's updates, and if that doesn't work forma group to sue Microsoft for loss of personal time. You should be able to get something for it.
