Re: my computer wont turn off .
My old computer started doing that.
It crashed soon afterwords.
And I have no idea on how to fix it.

Re: my computer wont turn off .
Is it just me, or did that sentence structure paired with those words make no sense whatsoever

Trust me, its not just you.
I just read through his post, and I was able to kind of infer what was going on.

Re: my computer wont turn off .
Im gonna guess he has 98. I've had that happen quite a bit on my old computer where it freezes when shutting down. I'm not sure on a fix, but I recommend just running scan disk just to make sure nothing is wrong with the OS

Re: my computer wont turn off .
i am running XP.
i was fiddling around with the wires because i was bored... i guess thats why this is happening.  silly me. also the lights on the front of my computer arnt working (the power on lights, flashes when loading). after i "fiddled" they dont work either.
i am thinking maybe i should smash it to pieces? unless anyone has an answer... (i just cant LIVE without lights/ability to switch computer off).
thanks anyway

Yeah we're using counting version 3 beta.
Can't you bring the comp back to the store?

Re: my computer wont turn off .
Have you ran scandisk just to double check? Since you have XP, it might just be taking a crappingly long time to shut off. What's the specs of your comp. Ultimate?

It's that black keyboard causing the conflict. Older computers prefer the older, off-white style. You may be able to keep the handrest though...
On a more serious note, what exactly was the location of the wires you "fiddled with?"
