Because the task manager is telling it to. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and do the shut down from there. Next time you use the computer it should shut down normally.
- Click Start button and go to "My Computer". - On the menu bar, click "Help" and then click "Help and Support Center".
Turn it off and turn it back on or restart it.
Could be that Windows downloaded an automatic update and your computer needed a "restart" to finish this task. Check your preferences for installing automatic updates. click start>run> Type msconfig>click advance button> check "disable fast shutdown " Restart. if it is checked already uncheck it restart and then recheck then restart. if you are unable to access msconfig then go to microsoft.com winxp area and search there for "xp shutdown suppliment" download a little patch if you get and double click it to patch. Now try to restart
It would depend on what you mean by ''get into.'' There are two ways, if you mean the way whilst being logged into the computer, you can click on the start button and click on my computer, and you would then click on to the button which reads 'Local Disk (C:)' and you, usually, can access anything you want from there. The other way is to locate your motherboard, Google it if you don't know what it is, please, and unscrew the screws on the base or the side of it, therefore, ''getting into'' the computer.
You would click the Back button, located as a back arrow in the top hand corner of your screen.
there probably would be something wrong with your computer so my best bet would be to turn off or restart your computer Or you could just download iTunes and click on it when you plug your iPod in =)
* What does the computer do when you attempt to boot it up? * What operating system? The computer would just shut down completely after selecting 'restart.' No problems booting up thereafter. I have Windows XP Service Pack 2. I have determined what the problem was. It was due to enabled software called Window Washer 5.0. When I disabled it, my computer is now able to go into restart mode.
The 'click the restart' button refers to clicking the 'start/turn off Computer' shown on the bottom-left of the screen in Windows operating systems (95, 98, NT, XP, Vista).[Anyway, my PC is working fine now after I did a run of 'SPYBOT', an anti-spyware program. Be extremely careful about downloading free software because that's when my problem(s) started. "Spybot Search and Destroy" is quite credible, but it is more important to get it from the original website and not some other free program download websiste. Restart also means to shut down and start up again. so naturally, your computer would shut down and start up again If you press the physical power button on your CPU, computers do a "power off" of the hardware system. Normally you must hold that button for several seconds (3 to 5 is typical ) to shut down. Note that if your operating system (Windows) was still running at the time, you may lose some unsaved settings or documents. To restart, press the button again and it will restart. If you had not properly shut down the operating system (using the 'Start' button and selecting Shutdown) then there may be things the operating system must fix when it restarts. You will see some messages about the processes it is running to repair any damage. This is usually not a big problem as the system is designed to repair those things in such cases. AnswerSYMPTOMSIf you shut down your Windows XP-based computer, your computer may restart instead of shutting down. The computer may also restart unexpectedly while you are using the computer to perform certain tasks. An error message may appear on a blue screen when the computer restarts.Back to the topCAUSEThis behavior may occur if Windows stops responding during a typical operation or during the shutdown process. By default, the computer is configured to automatically restart when Windows stops responding. To view this setting, follow these steps:1. Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.2. Under System Failure, view the Automatically restart check box. If the Automatically restart check box is selected, Windows automatically restarts if the computer stops unexpectedly.RESOLUTIONIf your computer constantly restarts while you are using it, or if you are trying to shut down the computer after it has stopped unexpectedly, click to clear the Automatically restart check box. If you clear this check box, you receive an error message when the computer stops responding. This error message may describe the cause of the problem. You can also review the system log in Event Viewer to view the critical stop error that occurs when the computer restarts. For additional information, you can got to Windows in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
it forgets what u last did! and there is probaly something wrong with your computer....
First, if I had a wireless keyboard and mouse I would check the batteries in the mouse and/or the keyboard or check the wireless connection. If it isn't wireless, then I would check that the USB's were plugged in correctly, if they are fine I would hold the power button on the computer until the computer shut down, count to ten, and restart the computer.
This would depend on the type and model of computer. Generally, on a desktop computer, the power button will be on the front of the tower. Sometimes it can be on the side of the tower if not on the front. If it is an all-in-one computer, such as the imac, it may be on the monitor itself (possibly back or front). If you are using a laptop, it can often be found at the top right just above the keyboard. some older laptops have the button on either the side or front of the laptop.
you would restart your computer to install updates or return your computer to a fresh state when you have been running a lot of prgrams that would still be running in the background even after closeing them
