when i click on shut down nothing happens, so i have to do it all again for it to take effect. whats up with it???

Answer:
Your PC isn't perfect. If it's running a lot of applications before you shut down, let it finish. If this is a constant problem, you may have programs that are not responding, make sure your PC is in good condition and do regular maintenance (Virus scan, spyware/adware scan, registry cleaning, defrag, etc). Also make sure your harddisk isn’t crammed. A healthy Personal computer is a fast PC.
Answer:
More or less, that's just one of those “computers will be computers” kind of scenarios. If that's really the only problem you're having with your personal, you're doing pretty well.
