XP will not shut down (nothing happens)

Guest

I tried searching these forums for an answer but the search functionality
seems to be broken because no matter what I search for, it tells me nothing
is found (i tried keywords: xp, pc, shut down, shutdown)

anyway, when i try to shut down my XP PC, it makes a sound as if it were
about to shut down, but then nothing happens. I can resume my using my PC as
if I never tried to shut it down . i have tried several places and most seem
to direct people to these sites, which are not helping me:

Have you looked at MVP Jim Eshelman's Windows XP Shutdown page?
