my laptop cant shut down.
I do what i normally do; start, turn off computer, shutdown. It logs off like normal, then when it says "windows is shutting down" it just stays there, the only way i can get it to go off is to remove the battery which ive done 4 times now and dont wanna damage it.
why is this happening?
thanks,
Andy.

Bring your laptop to a local professional repair store. They should be able to get it fixed.

Hello,
personally in my opinion that does not sound to healthy. You would do best contacting the company of which you bought the laptop from or contact your local professional repair shop. Don't hold down the on/off button for 10 seconds as this is causing the computer to do a sudden shutdown which in the long run is not god for it at all.

All comps are different - have you tried holding down the on button for 10 seconds? That works on my Gateway. It shuts off, I wait a few more seconds and turn it on again. Everything usually fine. If shut down procedure was interrupted it can take 15-20 minutes for XP to get things straightened out. Happened once with me anyway.

The dreaded blue screen, go to Microsoft home and check for security updates, then install windows defender to make sure you have no adware or spyware that is making your computer act strangely without your knowledge.Don't keep switching of or removing the battery as this can have detrimental affects on your system.
if this doesn't help ask at the Microsoft web site under their FAQs

You can hold down the button to turn your computer on for 10 seconds and it will shutdown manually.
As far as what may be wrong....it could be anything.

my computer did that last week - it completely froze and I couldn't access the start menu or anything, so I just pressed down on the start button in frustration and apparently holding it down for a long time makes it shut down, and since then its pretty much been working fine.

make sure you closed everything before you shutdown. if it still don't work, when it says "windows is shutting down" hold the power button and it should do it

When was the last time you ran windows updates. There was a bug fix awhile back that was suppose to stop the computer from hanging at that exact spot

Hold the on/off button, if that does not work take out the battery.
