Shut Down

[Pat Carson]

Windows Me will not shut down computer. Selecting Shut Down twice leaves it on with flashing cursor at top of screen. All keys inactivated. Must pull plug to return to Windows. Any suggestions?

This is a problem that plauged most if not all of the Win 9x OS's. Here are a couple of links to check out.

By the way I noticed that one of your hobbies is annoying politicians. Mine too!
