    moved to correct forum as not a hdtv issue.
    hold the power button for 8 to 10 seconds & power will turn off.

    It looks like some computer maintenance is in order here. Get rid of malware/spyware and viruses on your computer. Also shut down whatever junk you have running at startup, and defrag your hard drive.

    goto "all programs", select "accessories", select "system tools" then "disk defragmenter"

    I am glad that you two said something. I had refrained earlier about saying a Computers 101 class might be in order, which it is.

    And, there is nothing wrong with that. Anyone, who has used a computer, for a long time, has gone through the 101 course.
