Laptop shutdown problem

[didikai]

I have XP on an Acer laptop. Can anyone tell me why it takes two tries before it shuts down using 'Turn off computer'?

did u change/installed/remove/update anything on your laptop lately?

did you try,

go to control panel >>
click on power option >>
click on APM >>
click enable advanced management support.

That's a common problem with computers that are loaded with junk. Give it a good cleaning with software like Malwarebytes and CCleaner(including CCleaner's registry cleaner).

Of course. It's not called didikaiCleaner so CCleaner is smarter than didikai.
