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
