Longshot here but if you're running Win98, it's a known issue and there was at one time an available patch.

Most likely it's an application not responding to the reboot request. There are lots of ways to respond to that request that will make Windows pop up a box asking if you want to kill the program, but if it simply ignores the request Windows is stymied. How dumb is that?

Before you reboot, try exiting everything you can, and then killing as many processes as possible in task manager. If telling it to reboot works after that, you know it's an application being a poohead.


Thanks I'll try that. Do like poohead Very Happy
