Shutdown No Workee

[Guest]

Hi,
When I click START, SHUTDOWN and click the SHUTDOWN or RESTART button the
screen flashes like it's going to shutdown but nothing happens. I've tried
using the mouse, keyboard and touchpad but nothing happens. I end up having
to use the Power On/Off to shut it down. I'm using HP Pavillion Notebook.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are you using Lavasoft Ad-watch? I had similar problems and I just
terminate that process before I can shut down. Make sure you have the
latest Windows update from Microsoft. Hope it helps.
