What? No history or story? You could use System Restore to when it worked or read the Shutdown Article over at http://www.aumha.org/articles.htm
But it's late here and you can tell more tomorrow.

I am running win-xp HE OS. When I try to shut down my computer by clicking "Turn off Computer", "Turn Off", it reboots instead of shutting down. What do I need to do?
Thanks,
