ereks mom Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 While I was at dh's office this afternoon, he had to leave for an appointment, and he asked me to shut down his laptop & bring it home with me. I tried to shut it down with the Start menu as usual: Click "Start: Shut Down: Okay". But it locked up on the screen that says, "Windows is shutting down". CTRL+ALT+DELETE does nothing. Pressing the power button does nothing. It is running on battery. Do I just have to wait until the battery dies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Did you press and hold the power button for a greater length of time or just a quick press? I would try pushing and holding for a while -- 15 seconds maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ereks mom Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 ...several seconds (5?) -- not quite long enough, I guess. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yeah, my computer seems like I have to hold down the power button forever when it is locked. Glad you got it shut down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
