Can anyone tell me how to stop Xp Pro from rebooting
everytime I try and shut it down?
 
I tracked down the problem to my webcam being pluged
through my USB port. I read else where that USB ports can
cause this problem, and it seems like it did!
So try unplugging USB hardware before you shut down, you
never know it might just be the ticket for you.

Many thanx to http://aumha.org/win5/a/shtdwnxp.htm for
pointing me in the right direction, check it out.....

You have something that is crashing on being asked to close - and the
system's 'automatically restart' is cutting in. Turn this off: in
Control Panel - System - Advanced, click Settings in the Startup and
Recovery section. There uncheck 'automatically restart'. You can also
usefully change the 'write debugging information' to (none) unless you
are actively needing a dump for debugging something, or to 'minidump' if
you are getting errors that you wish to report on to Microsoft. You
may now get a Blue screen failure instead, but at least will get some
guidance as to what is happening
