I'm having a werid problem on my computer. I don't know if it becuase I downloaded something or did anything but it won't let me restart or shut the computer off. What can be the problem?
When I go to start and click on shut down it doesn't do anything. The restart doesn't work either. I tired shutting it down with Alt+Ctrl+Del and still nothing. I have to take the power out to shut the computer.
Can anyone help me with this.
I also have another question about re-installing XP. Is there a way to just re-install xp while I still keep all my files and programs or do I lose them?

I also suggest you backup your data including all your personal files into a CD or into another computer before any installation repair or clean re-install. Check out: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;312368
