Just occasionally I am unable to log off, shut down or switch user also the
task manager will not open.
I have XP Pro with SP3 installed with 3 users.
If I try to shut down the window opens and I selct either shut down or
restart, but then it just ignores the command and carries on as if I'd not
done it.
I have run anti-virus and spyware checks, all is clear.
Can anyone please help?
 
Try installing xp cd,exit the menu page,go to run,type:cmd In cmd type:
Sfc /Scannow When its thru,type:CHKDSK C: /F Agree to restart,type:EXIT
Remove xp cd,restart pc.
 
That worked perfectly.
Many thanks
