I have a freind who's computer will not shut down. When she goes through the Windows Start/Turn off computer/Turn off process the computer just keeps reading from the hard drive but never turns off.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

She is running XP. I will call her and give these ideas a try. Thanks, I will let you know if they work.
