Strange. I can not restart or shutdown my XP Pro lately. Only reset works, I tried reinstalling (refreshing), but it did nothing. Not even the command "shutdown" works. I didn't install anything relevant the past few days, so I have no idea what causes this. Reinstalling didn't help so my system files (such as shutdown.exe) should be OK, right?
By the way, I have SP1 installed.
Nearly found a workaround: these methods seemed to work for me.
Oops. My shutdown was caused by a worm because I didn't have the very latest update.
But this means I could shut down somehow...
Third edit: "shutdown -t 1" works now. I can not use the start-shutdown menu, but this one is good.
