Hi.

Holding the shutdown button should only be a last resort if the system won't 
shut down normally.  Forcing a shutdown can damage data and corrupt windows if 
it is done too often.

  Can't be 100% sure, but on most systems, be they desktop or laptop, or even 
netbook, you have to hold down the power on key for 5 - 10 seconds before it 
will power off.

  Just keep your finger on it until it dies. If it has not powered off after 5 
minutes, put your finger in your ear, and go to bed.  (Smile!)

  Hi all -

  This use to happen on my desk top, and I never did get a solution for it, but 
it is now happening on my netbook; after using the machine for a little while, 
something goes wrong, and key strokes stop working, the most obvious being the 
Windows key, when I press it, instead of geting the start menu, absolutely 
nothing happens! If I press the Win key and M for the desk top, nothing 
happens, and eventually, no matter which key I press, I get a dunk sound, and 
can only use the power button to shut down. Does anybody know of a way round 
this, so I don't have to use the power button to force a shut down?

  Thanks -

  Andy
