I am new, and don't know much about computers. I am having problems with my gateway laptop. When I click on standby, shutdown or hibernate from the start shutdown window, nothing happens. I have to hold down the power button to get it to shut off. Any suggestions?

Type the following in the command prompt window :

shutdown.exe -s -f

2) To Restart :
