No. I'm talking about the physical power button on the system. The
one you would normally use to switch on the system from cold, so to
speak.
As has already been pointed out, it's not a good idea to power off
this way, other than in an emergency. However, when needs must......

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
