If my wireless mouse batteries run out in mid programme can I shut down from my key board?

Answer 1

if you're using win xp, you can just alt-f4 until you get to the shutdown screen and just press enter or U.

Answer 2

I beg to disagree... the Power Supplies on dell computers (dodgy or not), if they fail, they cause a no power/no post scenario (this is, no signs of power at all, or blinking yellow/orange power light with no video, or solid yellow power light). For the symptoms you mention it could be overheating, since it is not possible to turn the computer on immediately. But if now has past a long while (several hours) since the last time the computer shut down... THEN I can think, that's a power supply/motherboard failure. Hope this helps, Ces.

As well as the two above, on a PC you can press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. On older systems just keep pressing it til it closes. On the newer ones (XP, etc) you can tab through the options til you get to Shutdown, then press Return.
