    I used to have this problem with Windows 2000, but never with XP. Are all your updates up to date? That would be my first guess.

    1. don't have to pull the plug, hold the power button for 8 to 10 secs & system will shut off by it self
    2. check microsoft's faq site for reference to that problem
    3. have you run any antispyware & antivirus programs on your computer

    do an online scan just to confirm no viruses as norton doesn't always pickup things
