Shut down problem on XP SP3

Hi guys,

I am using Windows XP SP3 and have been having problem shutting down my PC since yesterday.

I have been trying to shut down from the Start Menu, Task Manager, and the run command shutdown -s.

It did not hang or whatsoever, it just wont shutdown, and when i retype the shutdown -s again, it says "A system shutdown is in progress"

I cant log off either.

Does anyone knows what the problem is ? I have been shutting down my PC by holding the Power Button ....

Thank you so much

Need help with laptop [Can't boot]

Hi guys,

I have a friend who is having problem with his Toshiba M200 436.

Earlier this afternoon, his laptop suddenly shows a blank screen, and he can't press or do anything with it.

After he force restart his laptop, the Toshiba screen shows up and it blanks after that. No Windows loading screens come out.

I tried suggesting to run it in Safe Mode but its always stuck during the driver checks.

Do we need to send it for repairs or just try to reformat it ?

Thank you in advance

[WTA] Child Control in TV

Hi guys,

I am not sure if I can post this in here, I have problem with my TV

I rented a house and the TV they give me is a CC 21' Model GC SFJ2153 made by http://www.gcsb.com.my/products_av.htm

When I tried to turn on, it was locked by a Child Control System which unable you to do anything with the TV.

I was wondering if someone can tell me how to disable the lock ? I asked the owner but she forgets how to disable the lock.

Thanks
