Yeah - not really enough information.
What's going on with your processes as you attempt to shutdown?
Anything in the Event Log?
Ever tried booting up - logging in, using the computer for everything but
the DOS based application and then shutting down to see if it *is* that
app
causing your issue?
Ok, I close all programs, Look in the Task manager and there is
nothing open. Even if I turn the computer on and try to turn it
back off, It stlll shows the logging off screen until I Power off
the computer. I am on a network, does this effect anything too?

Shenan said:Are you saying you have done everything - gone through everything
(particularly on the second link) and found nothing?
Those links are not handed out at random or to just give you
busy-work to do.
They are there to help you.
They list some common issues with conflicts/shutdown and how to
resolve them.
We cannot see your screen, we cannot see your computer - you have
to help us help you.
I have been through all suggestions on the website
links, check all software & hardware listed on them against
what is on my laptop. I really do appreciate your help, so
what exactly do I need to tell you to go further?
