Shutting down PC

[carlton23]

Why, when I try to shut down my PC it fails to do so, and a window appears which says quote `This programme is not responding`

[MarkRae]

Pop the Task Manager - is anything still running? If so, what is it?

[ELVIS68]

Click, End Now

[carlton23]

I`m trying to find a way to stop this Elvis, I do click End Now and it`s just a bl00dy nuisance
Mark, Thanks for that, but only the home page is running when I switch off. I`ll try the task manager

[MarkRae]

The home page? What home page?

[carlton23]

Mark: Virgin Media.

[carlton23]

Alex: I have clicked on the link but nothing happens.

[carlton23]

Alex: ok now,sorted. ta much.

[ChuckFickens]

Don't click the link carlton (or anyone else) it's a spam link and the so called "registry scanner" they are linking to has zero official reviews anywhere (in fact I can only find it for download from dodgy sites)

[Old_Geezer]

Do you mean you have a web browser open ? How else would you see a "home page" ? What browser do you use ? Is it worth reinstalling it ?

[carlton23]

Chuck: I did click on the link before I saw your reply but after it did a scan I realised what is was and have deleted it from my PC.
Old Geezer: (like myself) I use IE

[Old_Geezer]

I think I'd try uninstalling IE and then reinstalling the latest version, see if it made a diference. (Obviously download the new install files from MS before deleting your browser :-) ).

Or one other thing you might try if it is just happening recently is to try a system restore to a date earlier than the problem.

Click .. click .. click .. !

What is it with people click clicking anything that comes along?!
Too late now.
To be sure, switch OFF System restore, do a full scan and reboot. Switch on System Restore again.
