Hi Barry
Just had a quick check and it's set at 1, so I'm assuming this is as should be.
Like I said before, this only happens sometimes, but is rather annoying
especially when I have no other option but to do a manual turn off.

Hi Barbra,
I've just had a look at the headers on your mail and saw your using Windows
XP.
I've did some digging around and this sounds like some nastys have gotten on
to your computer.
I've one suggestion to try. A registry edit.
This may not work but will not do any harm..
It simply tells the machine to show your Shutdown button. Have you confirmed
the shutdown button is actually there? I say this as you might have just used
shortcus like,
win key, u in the past to bring the dialog box up.
If you dont' feel comfortable editing your registry I've made up a registry
file here for you that will automatically perform and save these changes.
I've tested this here but as we are in a public forum have to say I take no
responsabilitys if there's something going on in your registry with spyware
that causes this is some bizarre way to back fire.
It shouldnt' and besides you know where I live through Jo! grins, but have
to get it out there.
Here's what ya need to do,
"Click Start, Run.
Type regedit and click OK.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
Look for the "ShutdownWithoutLogon" key and change the value.
Value 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
If the above key is not available, you can create the same.
Barry.

When I try to shut down my computer I go to start menu and enter on shut
down. Nothing happens. I can then carry on using the PC as normal, but can't
shut down unless I press the button on the computer. Any ideas why this keeps
happening?
