My Shut Down is not working !!!!!!

Hi friends i have a bigggg problem.

Yesterday me and my friend worked with vb and JAVA to test how to handle windows main controls and registry edit .
But today when i tried to Shut Down my pc it is not working.[ The restart button is working. ]
Thats not a virus problem i am sure becoz my antivirus didnot find anything .I don't know what to do.

We tried many things we know , but the Shut Down is still not working.
Plz i need somebodies help , plz its urgent.

Sorry , i am using XP service pack 3

Vineeth,

Try this and let us know what happens.
Start>Run
type shutdown/s and let us know what happens.
If this works then its probably a registry problem & you'll need to peform a system restore if available or restore the registry hive.

Regards

Chris

Thanks friends that's a real help.And it works for me.
I think that's the problem of my registry.
Now its fully restored.
The problem is when i used vb to access shutdown and restart function , somehow it damaged the registry [ i think ]
Thanks a lot ............
