Greetings Everyone,
About couple weeks ago, I had this problem with my pc: It was some sort of virus(I think) that encroached my computer and almost destroy my drive. The only choice I had was to format the disk and reinstall Win XP. It worked and went successfully all the way to completion. Tho I lost some of my data and files. And also a new problem appears 2-3 days after the XP installation. It is wierd, it had never happened before. The computer still runs when I click the Start button but after I click the shut down button, the arrow turns to the loading thing and the screen or the computer freezes tho the screen doesn't turn black, it just freezes. I gave it 5 mins but still no response then the only option I had was to press the Ctrl Alt Delete button, there is an option on the top of the task manager which allows me to click turn off/stand by/etc.. from that time on, I have to do the same process, open task manager and turn off, there is also another problem, after I press the shut down button from task manager, the computers runs normally, tho when it runs along to the windows shutting down screen, i have to wait at least 3-5 mins for it to shut down. It really annoys me. any help will be appreciated.
sorry for the bad written English.

Dimension 4550 (4 years)
Window XP home edition SP2
1GB Ram
60GB disk space.
