I'm setting up my old computer in my sister's room and for some reason Windows XP won't shut down when I tell it to. Here's what happens:
I go to Start -> Turn Off Computer -> Turn Off, then Windows goes to the normal blue screen which says "Saving you settings" and then "Windows is shutting down.."
Normally, the system shuts down after that. Well, after reading that for 10 minutes I figured waiting any longer wouldn't change anything. I powered it off manually, restarted, and tried to turn it off again. Same thing happens, and it never did that before.
By the way, that computer is and has been free of viruses, spyware, etc... I have Norton SystemWorks and Personal Firewall, along with Windows AntiSpyware on there.
I have no clue why it won't shut down properly. The same thing happens when I tell it to restart. Can anyone help?
