Okay, I'm plain fed up with this machine every time I turn around. Now it has a problem sometimes wherein it will not kick into restart mode after finishing the shutdown procedure. I believe it happens after the shutdown procedure since the mouse stops moving (I know this is most likely the case, since I once had an older machine with a power button that had to be pushed to turn it off, and XP doesn't display one of those fancy "it's okay to turn this thing off now" screens, since most computers nowadays can turn themselves off...), and after the mouse stops moving, nothing. Normally, it would only take a split second of course, and the system should kick into restart mode. But, sometimes it doesn't. Oddly enough, I haven't had it happen yet when I've chosen "Shut Down," only "Restart." Doggon this is driving me crazy! Having to hold the power button to force it to shut off is NOT good for hard drives! (Another reason why I dislike them...) I don't want to have to feel like I need to check my whole hard drive (corrupted file concerns) after every occurance of this crazy bug, since that takes two hours!
